Currently in the process of trying to relocate to Qatar for September 2014. All was going swimmingly. Job in place, start date confirmed. School application in with ISL Qatar for DD 16. Then disaster struck. DD failed maths assessment test and ISL refused the application. No other schools have places available for entry on Grade 10 Middle Years Programme (MYP) for IB. It was murder even getting any school to consider the application in the first place as they were all either full or not willing to take a Year 11 GCSE student on to non-matching curriculum (MYP or IGCSE).
Major problem : Do we either move anyway with no school place for DD in what would be final GCSE year, or do we stay in Blighty, let DD stay at school to do full year 11 and finish GCSE’s.
Staying in UK could have major job implications (ie lose job in Qatar and possibly lose job in Blighty !) Going to Qatar with no school has obvious teenager development and general well-being issues.
Is HOMESCHOOLING IN QATAR via home tutors, private SKYPE tutoirials and nline learning for final CGSE year a sensible/viable option? ANY SUGGESTIONS. Anyone know anything about homeschooling in Qatar???
