Catalana,, Parkhouse school is very good i heard together with DESS are i think on a higher rank than DMBS and their fees are the same i think, so be happy that ur kids got accepted in it as it is one of the best but the only problem that it is a worry to any mother is what u mentioned 45 mins. is too long for little kids or even older ones, i suggest see how it goes this year and for the next academic year think about relocating your residence to a closer area t othat school if your kids are happy there as it is easier to move houses i think than jumping our kids from one school to another, we already brought them here from our countries but u dont want to keep changing their school especially if they have adopted well, so moving house is an option u should look into for next year of sep.2010,, otherwise, wait and u will support what im saying, Park House is really good school. Good luck
