decisions!

Hi i'm moving to Limassol very soon and am in a dilema as to which school is the best to send my 3 boys.So far i like the english grammar and heritage(which has a waiting list) they are all of secondary age and dont speak greek much to our shame as father is english/cypriot! advice would be much appreciated.

Have you thought about sending them to a Cypriot school? There is a lot of support for non-greek speakers these days and youngsters are surprisingly adaptable.

Have you visited the two private schools that you like or have you just spoken to the head? I do know people who have allowed their children to make the choice when they have arrived...it sometimes helps them to settle in, especially if they are bothered about the move.

Have you looked at any other private schools?

I agree with Babs that you should at least look at the possiblity of a local school.
As you intend to settle here it wouldbe good for the children to learn Greek and also to learn more about the local culture.
You may decide it isnt for them but dont dismiss it out of hand without at least investigating it.

Regards
