[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are in a k-12 private and would see if possible to get them back there so they would be back with familiar friends after the time away. I guess it does make some sense to stay abroad until oldest graduates from hs and move back between 9th & 10th grades for middle. 
And no, we haven’t decided anything, just very preliminary exploring options. 
Dh would probably have a lot of control over how long he goes, as he would be the one establishing the office there and could set parameters but of course it’s impossible to know how much we’d all like it. [/quote]

I suspect you would have to pay tuition to hold their spots, and I would not do this.

We moved around a lot when I was a kid, and I found it much harder to return to a school I'd been at before than to go to an entirely new school. I had changed, and other kids seemed to take it personally (and badly) that I wasn't the same kid who had left three years before. And of course they had changed, too, and it was harder to find my place than it was when I started fresh.

Also, if your kids are at an IB school, they may well want to try to continue with an IB program.

All of that amounts to, I would not plan that they would necessarily return to the same school. When the time comes to return, look at all the options from scratch and see what the best fit for the kids you have at the time is, v. what the best fit was for the kids you had when you first chose the school.[/quote]
