Hello to everyone,

I want to express my first experience as about international private schools.
Ive been to Abu dhabi few days ago and visited some private schools for my daughter who is 10 years .We are planning to move in March as we havent found or they havent accept us till now to any school.....because the period of applications is over .....(but my husband has moved 2 months ago )

I would like just to enter a class for 3 months(from march to june) and prepeared for the next year (same grade) .All applications were full and she must to take an exam (for the next year)..ok with that.

So...
Every school has its own rules and lessons and I have to apply (as all they told me) to 4 or 5 schools or more because her english as they think are not at the desired level (they didnt even speak with the child I just told them that she understand everything but she cant speak easily )

...and if one will accept her.Each school has its own lessons that she has to read and be prepeared to give the test.They take big amounts of money and they say ......if her knowledge will be at our school level.I told them that you keep saying that your school does this and does that but which is the way that you help a child who changes country from one day to another ?
The school level is above all............
Can anyone help me and tell me what kind of tests a private school gives to a 10 years child who comes from a European country and the native laugauge
,is not english ? Or generally how I can help my child and prepear for those tests ?
Can you send me some sites just to see what they ask to a test ?

I want to thank everyone in this site because every time you give help and so much attention to everyone ...

I ask you to forgive me if I overeacted but we face a lot of problems ...We just try to move ....

Thank u again

Hi, welcome to Abu Dhabi, try to read this it may help

Also, am not so familiar with schools procedures, but the test may be about general info, some math and English, do not feel pressure just let her take the exam while she is relaxed and am sure she will do well, but you have to apply for as much schools as you can
