You are right... even if we manage to put him in the chosen school, he will face the same problem. What we need is the support class that can help him to improve gradually. We might explore into this school once arrive in Doha. For my eldest who will be in Yr 9, my concern is to prepare him for his GCSE. I've read the website but one thing I realized is that the school have many arabs students than other foreigners. It's ok because I myself comes from Malaysia (Asian country). My boys are used to be surrounded by all kinds of foreigners. Does the students speak more arabic or they speak more in English?

P/S: If your children is doing fine in the university, then getting the disastrous grades is not a big deal... right!
