Hi,
My husband has just accepted a job in Tripoli with Wintershall. We have four kids, 3 boys aged 13, 11, 8 and our daughter who we adopted from China who is 6. I would love to know what sport clubs are available for the kids. I have 2 that have been really involved with gymnastics and two in wrestling and it sounds like there won't be much like that?
thanks for any info,
Katrina

If I were you, I'd contact the school(s) you'd anticipate enrolling you kids in and ask them. I'd do it sooner rather than later cause school ends soon, teachers/principal will be busy and many of the staff go on home leave in summer months.

We are headed there in two months. My husband is there now, we have a 13 year old daughter. She'll be at the American school -as will I since I'm a teacher and they've hired me.

Thanks, as you are a teacher I should ask you one of my kids, my 8 year old son is ADD Inattentive, he has above average IQ but needs extra learning strategies, he is on medication which is a huge difference, I would prefer the kids to go to the american school but don't know if it would be a good idea for him, he is keeping up with his school mates pretty well right now but who knows!
any advice?
Thanks
Katrina

Since I don't yet work at the school, it would be best for you to contact the Principal with this concern. You can contact her through the school's webpage at www.astripoli.org. Tell her Casey sent you her way.

Mrs Sand and I were talking just yesterday with a Brit expat lady who has done some 1-to-1 teaching at the British school.
