[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. [/quote]

That's never a guarantee unless you pay tuition to hold the spots. If your current school all of a sudden has a big influx of app's for grades your children will be trying to come back into, you'd have a leg up with admissions if you are a family in good standing but other than that, it's no guarantee.

All that said, I would explore the country and talk to other ex-pats (maybe your DH's company can connect you with current employees/families to get some real world pros and cons?).

I would also second a PP who said to ask for tuition to be covered by DH's company as part of the relocation, maybe even keeping your eldest here in boarding school so as not to uproot them during this crucial time - especially if you have family close by that can check in/assist if something comes up. They fly over for breaks so they can get the taste of living there but not disrupting their education.

It's an exciting opportunity no matter what, good luck with your decision!

DC is currently a 10th grader, if I got this kind of offer it would REALLY depend on the country for them to even consider leaving what they have here friend-wise and what they are working toward for college but I could think of a few places that they would be excited to drop everything and move to. In this age of social media, keeping in touch with friends is really easy. [/quote]
