Out of interest, why didn't you send your two to the Spanish school?

We sent them there simply because we weren't sure this was to be a long term move. We had lived in Florida for a large part of last year, so this was to be their 3rd school in less than a year; we just thought going into yet another school, but with the added problem of not knowing the language, was simply unfair.
Now that we are staying, we'd be happy for them to go to Spanish school, if we could choose the one they went to. However, they are both settled & happy where they are, so they are staying there.

Glad your two are settling in well.

We'd choose the one in el puerto - it's the one we've heard the best things about. Unfortunately they'd probably end up at the one at the Arenal because the ayuntamiento is sending most of the foreign kids there - and not giving much extra help to either the kids or the teachers from what I've heard. Extranjeros are almost in the majority there now - or so I've been told.
Friends of ours have decided to send their kids (5 & 3) to spanish school. They're due to start on Thursday, but won't find out which school they will be going to until Monday or Tuesday.
