Advice please.
I need my next school to be good for my kids aged 7 & 9 as well as us.
We are currently at a school that is 99% local, socially it is great for all of us but I am worried about my middle schooler and the academic level of the school because everyone is ESL and it shows. I think we need to be at a school that is more international.
I don't want high stress/micro managed environment, I put enough pressure on myself. We have been hoping to find a school good for all of us and to stay put. It has not worked out and we have done 2 years and out 2 times already for very different reasons (Ugh). I don't think I am being unrealistic, but we have been avoiding pyp schools after a bad experience.
Thoughts?

Thanks! I worked in Kobe (like a JET) for 2 years and loved it!
Can I afford to feed the kids there?!
Have you done PYP?
