What schooling options are available in Houston?

Expert Info

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Destination: Houston
We're likely to be moving to Houston in the coming months. My son will be 5 in October and therefore misses the 1st September cut-off for Kindergarten enrolment. He has attended nursery in the UK for over two years and is more than ready for school. We don't want to hold him back a further year but appear to be limited in options. Do private schools allow "early" admission? Presumably they don't have to follow the same rules as the public schools? Are private schools our only option? Would be grateful for any help anyone can provide.

Hi All,

I am a 23 year old banker and I am moving to Frankfurt in a couple of months. I am a bit worried about making in friends. I have started taking some basic German lessons but I am worried by language skills won't be good enough. 

Can expats already living in Germany tell me how I can make friends in Germany? Are the people friendly or will the fact that I can't speak German be a major disadvantage? I am worried about experiencing culture shock and feeling a bit isolated in a new place.

Thanks

If anyone has any advice on good areas to stay in, that would also be appreciated.

All the best,

Destination: Germany
Hi there,

We are moving to Berlin at the end of the year as my husband has a job offer. I am worried about my 12 yr old son and his schooling. I am not sure whether my husband will get much of an allowance to cover school fees and I see that international schools in the city are crazily expensive. What are my other options? Can he attend a public school or will the language barrier be too much of an issue.

We are from the UK and my son doesn't speak German.

Cheers
