Hi, I'm hoping to move to LA soon (my husband is beind transferred with work) and wondered how the school system works. I have two children, my son is 5 and will be 6 in September, He currently goes to infant school and I have a daughter who is 3 and at nursery. How do I find a school for my son? What age do kids start school? Will I have to pay? Are there any good schools in Santa Monica? Do you have any websites that can help as I'm completely at a loss and my relocator is based in the UK and has never moved a family with kids before!
any help gratefully received.

thanks
