Moving to Oliva and would love some help...

[towseruk]

Hola, Ingles Amigos. Can somebody please help us. I am shortly moving into the Oliva area (noviembre) ish with my other half and our daughter who is 8. We are looking for a good school and details of what we need to do to get her enrolled. We intend putting her through Spanish main stream as lots of people keep suggesting that would be best. We are coming over again next week so any help at would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

Welsome to the forum. I cant help you I'm afraid, but, our moderator, Stravinski lives in Oliva I believe and has done for a few years - I'm sure he'll have plenty to say when he's next about, although I dont think he has children!

Thanks JoJo for the info. Wether he has kids or not, any help of any kind will be welcome.

Hi there

Yes, I live on the hills overlooking Oliva
There are quite a few state schools in the town, but the trouble is you need to have registered last May for the current school year

I'll just go away and see if I can find details of the school names

[Stravinsky]

Yep, here you go .... check the link on the Oliva Town web site

Tourist Web

Afraid we dont have any kids at school here in Spain
But 8 is a good age to go to state school as she will become bi ligual quite quickly from what others have said

Which area are you moving to?

[towseruk]

thank you...

Havn't decided exactly on the area yet. We come over again on Sunday for a couple of days and then again early October, hopefully to find a 12 month let until we settle.

What kind of place are you looking for?
In the town, or out in the campo, or small village
Away from expats or in the thick of them?

Not in the centre if I can help it, We are not bothered about English neighbours although we would like some other kids around.
