Hi All,
We're planning on moving to Canada for a year or 2 in 2013. We have 2 children, oldest will be 7 and youngest will be 5.
I looked into the Canadian school system and it appears kids don't start school until they are 6.
Seeing how one of my kids is already in school and will be well able to read, write and do basic maths by the time we relocate, should I put him a grade ahead?
Also my youngest will be 5, not old enough to start canadian school, but he will already have done 2 years of playschool here, I'm afraid he'd be bored doing yet another year of kindergarten in canada. Can I enrol him anyway or is 6 the legal required age?
I'm just wondering what did other people do when moving from UK or Ireland when their kids had already started school here?
I could be completely wrong about the canadian system so please feel free to correct me
