Hi,

I am thinking of moving my son to the Multi-National school. We are a British family and at the moment my son has a slight behavioural problem which is being looked into. Would wnyone recommend this school or another school that can deal with these problems.

Thanks

Sue

Hi Baggy Cat,

Welcome to BE. I can't answer your question as I am in the US, but I'm going to move your thread into our Middle East forum for you and I'm sure someone will be along soon who can give you some pointers in that direction. In the meantime read through a few of the other threads and get to know everyone.

Any site questions give me a shout

Multi national is probably your best option. You only have them or British School (which have very strict entry requirements) or American School which have American curriculum.

The British School would be better, but he may not get in if he has a behaviour problem or is not academically bright. Don't bother hiding his behaviour problem from them as, if he gets a place then they find out about it, you could end up being asked to take him elsewhere anyway.

Depends on his behavioural problems. Schools are used to behavioural problems and will/should have provision if it is based on a learning difference (ADD, autism). I have visited the Multi-National school and they look quite capable with looking after those with these symptoms.

Thank you for all your helpful comments.

Any western child having to live in Riyadh will soon develop behavioural problems, irrespective of his/her condition upon arrival, so don't worry too much.
