Re: My son has special needs.

Mamava & FlyingPigs,
Thank you for your insights. I really appreciate them.
All together, the information I've gathered from posting this question has taught me
-to do my research on schools,
-to know what my son needs and discuss with prospective schools if they can meet those needs, and
-that there are schools out there that could be good fits for both me and my son.
Thank you.

Thanks again, Shadowjack. What is "Search?" How do I join it?

Re: My son has special needs.

Shadowjack, I appreciate your words of warning. These are waters I will enter very carefully. Thank you. Should I do more than ask questions? Would you suggest that I ask to speak with parents of other special education students that have attended the school or anything along those lines?

Re: My son has special needs.

Thank you, fine dude. The Singapore schools look lovely and the State Department document gives me a starting point in many places.

My son has special needs.

Our eight year old is high functioning on the autistic scale. He receives many services at school here in the states, both in the classroom and in pull-out sessions. Without these, I think his school experience would be difficult and negative.

I'd like to teach (starting in 2015) at an international high school where my eight year old (who will be nine by then) would be well accommodated. We also have a high-achieving 14 year old (who will be 15). Does anyone have information that will help me think about this?

Thank you.
