Africans-what schools do your children attend

delikate
By delikate

For all Africans out here. Since we don't have British passports, which makes it easy to get into most schools, I'd like to ask the following questions:

* How are you coping with the lack of school places?

* What schools are your children currently attending?

Regards.

Try Parkhouse they are full of South Africans kids with few Brits and other nationality. Just my observation, which might be wrong..

Assuming that you are from English speaking Africa, yes it is hard to get the right school. Specially when you can't afford the big international schools and non of the community schools cater our need. My children are studying in a small private school, Summit Academy,(american carriculum) and with heavy support at home (tutoring and almost home schooling on some subjects) I am getting by. Some of my friends are sending their kids to Global Academy (American Curriculum), Middle East International School (American Curriculum), Cambridge School (British Curriculum). Hope this helps.

Thanks Oryx, but this question is aimed at Africans who might understand what I mean.

What is the deal about a British passport?

The school depends on the education system you wish your children to follow and the money you wish to spend.....

Your Namibian passport doesn't come into it.

There are a lot of South Africans at Park House English School. Having a British passport doesnt give priority to Brits at this school. Many nationalities there as well as other African students.
