schools in Dubai
We are an English family currently living in Perth Western Australia, my husband has a new Job in Dubai (June 07) we are following in Aug. 07. Our eldest son is 16 and studying t.e.e's (nearly the same as A levels) we are having great difficulty in finding an British school which recognizes these levels from West Australia. What do 16 year olds do in Dubai, do they just leave after GCSE's ? (which we do not do in Australia) stay on in the 6th form or is there any colleges for further education.
any info would be gratefully appreciated. Kev & Jackie

Re: schools in Dubai
welcome to BE...and check out the wiki...there's a whole load of schools to check out there, and ask directly because each would probably have their own requirements.
