Hi,
I'm considering relocating to Austria, and the one thing that makes my decision is education for my kids. I'd appreciate any pointers on the Austrian education system.
Basically, the eldest is due to start school in the UK in September at the age of 4!, and we may move just a few months after that. In Austria, school doesn't start until the age of 6. So, he may start school for a few months, we move and then he has no school to go to.
Is there somewhere like school that kids go to from the age of 4 in Austria? I'm worried that starting and stopping may be weird for him.
Anyone have any experience of doing something like this? How did the kids cope with it?
Secondly, when we move back to the UK, it may be that a younger sibling is aged 5 and hasn't started school yet in Austria, but is already a year behind UK school, so they'd join a UK school and always be behind. If there was a place in Austria that could bridge the gap from 4-6, it would help.
Any help much appreciated, I'm really struggling to work this one out!
Thanks
P
