"She has had good teachers, she has been happy there, and enjoys doing some after-school activities on the (provisional) school grounds. (They are in pre-fabricated classrooms which are really very nice. The actual school building is supposed to be ready for next year.) My husband and I are happy with our choice. We prefer to send our kids to a local school, which allows our family to be much more integrated with local people and in local activities. What I find strange about the system here is the lottery system involving a listing of preferences by the parents, but which leaves the final allotment of school to chance. In the U.S., all the kids in one zone had one assigned school. It seems silly to me to have 7 primary schools (5 public and 2 private with public subsidies ("concertadas") within 15 minutes' walking of my home!! Besides, it's not fair when some of the kids get into schools with more specialized programs (e.g. the Vila Olímpica Primary School is trilingual) while others are forced by elimination to go to schools with more traditional curriculum" (MW)Recommended by Margaret West
