Schools - HELP!!

Hi,


I am hoping someone can help me, I am in the middle of negotiations with a hospital in Jeddah.


I have 2 children and they have only offered education allowance of 22,000 SAR for both children combined.


This seems extremely low to me, I cannot find a school where that would come close to their fees.


I have been looking at Jeddah prep, British and American International schools.


We are from the UK, my eldest child will be 14 and the youngest 5. I really want to ensure the eldest receives a high quality education as it is  a crucial time for her. For the little one I will be accepting of a bit less as I just want him to focus on play at that age with some structured education, as long as he will be taught in english.


Does anyone have any other recommendations for school or negotiated a better education package?


Thanks


Cheryl
