Info from those who know

Remember now - it was Foleys, husband and I liked it - kids didn't. Partly because it wasn't shiney and new like everything in Dubai! However, now we are in Riyadh they think it looks pretty good! Agree re checking the results, Foleys were very good. A school that suits one family won't suit another, or it can differ from child to child, our children are older (11 and 13) so have more of an input than when they were little.

We are looking at British Curriculum schools as that's what the children are in now, so hadn't looked at the American School at all.

Would be interested to hear your views on the Heritage School Aase as when we were there last the new site still wasn't completed, and we were unable to get an interview.

Nice day
Nicola

Whoops although it is called The American Academy it doe I think follow the UK curriculum.. best checking though! I only know the Heritage school is highly regarded by a couple who have a child there - but as i said it is a very personal and important choice so please do check all the angles for the sake of avoiding having to re think because your child or perhaps you are not happy later...good luck all!

Hi Aphrodite, thanks for that - just assumed American system 'cos of the name! Will check again - we need to visit more schools to make a final decision. Agree it is a very important decision to make.

Thanks
Nicola

Hi
we are looking to move to cyprus we have two children 13/14. Dont know what area would be best for their school and our work im a hairdresser and my husband a builder , but i dont mind what i do really we are looking for a villa to rent and have our house on the market when sold we just want to go anybody got any advise please x

It seemed to us having done searches on the internet that there is the biggest choice of British Curriculum schools in Limassol than elsewhere. Altho as a not yet resident I may be wrong. Renting first is a good idea as you can finally buy somewhere suitable for school runs, work etc.

Good luck
Nicola

We would like the inside track from those who already have had the strength to do it.

Particularly interested in where to buy for out of town, typical cypriot although not cut off, schools and medical care.

If anyone out there would be kind enough to take the time to answer i would be most grateful

Hi there,

My fiancee and I bought a town house in Mesa Chorio, Paphos and have loved every minute of it. We went over for December but sadley had to return to the Uk (temporarily) for work, we were hopeing to get some but apparently coz of Christmas it pick up again around April. I have contacted a removal company and they are coming over to give me a quote, thankfully no big furniture to move as renting out our house over here in the UK, would love to relocate in April for good but we shall see. Cant give any advice on children moving but know that the ones I have met have no problem and love it - GOOD LUCK !

Hi Pamie,
Hope everything works out for you with your move.

If you notice the dates on the posts on this thread you will see it is an old thread and the people who have posted are probably over here and settled long ago.

Whoops - thanks Veronica after I had sent it I suddenly realised the date, silly me.
