Brighton College Truth

Hi all.

I am shortly moving to Abu Dhabi and therefore looking for suitable schools for my boys (ages 3+5).  It would seam that BC are the only school able to accept out children into the school for the summer term.  I have a couple of questions I would like to ask the forum:

1 - Is the school doing well?  I know the school is new and teething problems are to be expected.  Are these being overcome?

2 - Are the fees (more than the other schools) worth it?  I have no problem paying the higher fees if my children are receiving the best education. 

3 - Are extra curricular activities free?

4 - Are there any particular problems assiciated with the school?

I would really appreciate some constructive answers as they will help me decide whether I should wait for places in other schools.

Thanks in advance.
