Does the curriculum really matter at that age? Don't turn into another British snob.

Two options known to me:

Continental School (British International School)
Jeddah Prep and Grammar School (British Dutch School)

The waiting lists are not unlike the Beijing phone directory in terms of volume so better hurry although if you hold a UK passport I believe you will get in. My girl just started YR today and my boy is going for an assessment tomorrow for YE for Sept start.
