we finally managed to get an offer form Al Yasmina!!! thanks for all the info posted on ths forum!
Now i am wondering if anyone has children going in September in year 1 and year 3 in Al Yasmin and living in Al Raha gardens, may be the children can get together before school begins?? I remember seeing one thread about reception children in Al Yasmina but can not find it

Hi, I have a little guy starting FS2 and a daughter in Y6 and boy Y9. Hope we all can meet soon.

yes glad you got a place, this is because they are on target with the building works, so they have added an extra class to each year group as the need was there, and also the money of course.

Sounds like good news all round

My son & daughter both start in September, paid my 2000dhm yesterday !

George is year 4
Katie is FS2

But they are not likely to be over in AD until mid August !

Hi N1na, i am another Nina :-) and my son will be in Y1, daughter in Y6, of Al Yasmina. We're moving from Singapore and my company's project (for which i'm being posted) is slated to start 1 Oct, tho i've requested for an earlier move so the kids can start school on time (fingers crossed!)
I'll be heading down with colleagues in July/Aug to sort out housing/ transport/ other logistics issues before the actual move.

Can anyone advise me of the housing options avbl near Al Yasmina, ie Al Raha area, and the approx annual rents? I'm also a little concerned abt whether my office (which will be at al salaam, near corniche) might be too far, and whether we should rent a home somewhere in btwn al raha and corniche instd?

one more qn - will any of yr kids be using the Al Yasmina bus system?

Thanks

I am told by one of our Architects that Al Yasmina is from 3 year olds to18. Saw the renderings for school and its a big place!

Yes the Aldar website says up to 18 but I thought they were start from KG to Grade 6 to start

Got a colleague looking for a place in year 10 and 12 and BSAK are over subscribed for both years? So that would be great if they are going further than Year 6

Does anyone have any year 9 children going?

busybee2

they are going up to year 9 in first instance and then added more years next time, but will be the same as bsak go all the way up to age 18
