Hi

I have 2 boys, 9 & 4 years old. I want to put them in a very good school. Does anyone have kids in the above mentioned schools?
What are the differences between these schools? Which one do you suggest? Are there any other good schools that I can consider?

My boys are South African, English is their 2nd language.
PLEASE HELP.
Regards

Park House is not far from the booze shop ... It is next door to Al Jazeera academy.

Doha College is the choice here. Better inquire if they still have a spot.

And Novita is right my daughter attended Cambridge with the previous principal. We had some trouble with a Math teacher being abusive. (verbally) But like I said that was some time ago.

The tough part I would say is finding openings. My daughter attends Parkhouse British School. There are many South Africans that go there. Daughter said all of those she knows, English was their second language and they didn't have any problems. They test them also. You biggest hurdle will be finding a spot. May be you have an in already. Anyway, best of luck to you!
