Eton House? I thought there was a branch with both Chinese and English but primarily in Chinese.

First of all, I would guess that ERIS will accomodate your daughter's needs. ERIS skipped my daughter a grade after seeing her test scores. Like your daughter, she has a December birthday. My daughter was attending kindergarten in the US, which was based on an September start date/birthday, but ERIS...

Just got back from Bibi & Baba about an hour ago. I have ERIS's sheet for the junior school in front of me - black socks and black shoes are required for the regular dress days and white socks and white shoes are required for the PE days- but those are the junior school requirements, and I know that...

We are starting our 6 yr old at ERIS in first grade in a couple weeks. We are moving her from Seattle for six months. Please feel free to e-mail me ([email protected]) in a week or two if you are interested in knowing more. Best, Greta

I just emailed you.

I didn't get an email-- would you be able to try again? Best, Greta

Dear Liliana- Our daughter will be attending ERIS too. (I'm happy to hear that other people made the same decision that we did, and we didn't get to tour so I felt that I was really flying blind.) She will be in K2 or K1 -- she is currently 5. We're arriving in January 2008 from the US. My email is ...

Jumping_gene- Where did you end up going? Did you go to Learning Vision? My husband's colleague (prof. from Canada) said he sent his child to the NUS one and they have loved it. Just got a glowing recommendation. Diana- I appreciate your comments about local preschools--they made me re-think just ap...

Sofea- Thank you! That's great to hear. We didn't want to send the children to an expat-only school. (We were supposed to live in Lahore, but the political situation has gotten tricky there.) What were the children doing when you were there? What types of activities did you observe? How strictly Mon...

Has anyone sent their children to the Broderick branch of EtonHouse--the international school? We may be able to get both children admitted (ages 6 and 3 when they will be there). Any thoughts? We are coming from Seattle and looking for an academically challenging but supportive school and a Montess...

Nicole- Our friends, long-term residents in Singapore, advised us to send our child (also 5 and also entering kindergarten) to SAS if we could possibly do so. SAS has an excellent academic reputation, or so they say. I would think that means reading and writing at the end of kindergarten. All the ki...

Thanks for your suggestions.
Has anyone heard anything about Avondale (for the older child)? Or toured it? I read favorable reports on the Anglo expat forum.

This forum is incredibly helpful! We are moving to Singapore for only six months, January-July 2008. Our children are currently 5 and 3 and they will be that age as of Sept. 1, 2007. So I think that one will be in one of the kindergarten (?) levels and the other in preschool. We will be living in fa...
