Re: transitioning from UK to USA school
My heart goes out to you karenkaren1.
We've just moved over to Philly this year. My children are 11 and 13, and moving schools was serious consideration for us.
However, we're here and we've done it. It's harder but also better than we expected. If I can help let me know.
Are you planning to stay or do you have an assignment?
Our plan is 3 years, although we are aware it could change, we have to expect atleast one of the children to be doing the IB when we go back.

Absolutely.
Although I should add, given the timeframe, we insisted on private schools for the kids. I was afraid of them becoming overwhelmed in the US system, losing ground and then moving them back in 3 years being too much.
