Hi Everybody:
So, we're looking at moving to Egypt this summer for a year or two (minimum). I'm trying to find a school for my kids who will be in 3rd and 2nd grades as well as Kindergarten. It seems like pretty much every school I encounter is either extremely expensive (what's with the fee that is basically one year's tuition for joining the schoool?) as well as having instruction mainly in English (or French or German).
My kids are young--and I view this as a perfect time for them to learn Arabic in an "immersion" type setting. If they're in a school full of expats or social climbing Egyptians, will they gain any Arabic knowledge? Are there any good schools that local nationals use that actually teach in Arabic? Or am I better off homeschooling and hiring an Arabic tutor for them?
Thanks.
