Hi
I am South African, married to my Belgian husband for 7 yrs and we live in Lier.
My 2 children from a previous marriage aged 18 and 12 will be moving to Belgium in September.
I need some advice in choosing a school for my son who is 12.
My problem is that I do not want to limit my son in choosing a specific direction right now. From the research i have done it seems that children are guided towards a specific career choice from a early age.
I would like to choose a school that will allow him to study further (university) in whatever direction he should choose. I believe you can only really know what this should be when you get closer to 18.
I find the different types of abbreviations used for schools very confusing :-( I am afraid that if we choose the wrong school that we would limit his choices later on.
I do not want to choose an international school and would prefer that he integrates within the local school system. He has learned quite some Flemish and even speaks in dialect :-)
Any advice would be most appreciated :-)
