Hello,

I'm afraid it's me again! I'm sorry to keep posting, however being so new to Kuwait and feeling pretty isolated right now. I've posted before about the issues we're having finding a school for our son who has very mild Special Needs. It looks like he may not get a place in any of the good Private Schools here, so I'm thinking of home shcooling. I'm a teacher myself, and with the help of tutors, I'm thinking this could be an option for our family. It's certainly not the route we had intended to go down....... Anyway, do any of you other expats home-school, or know of any groups? I'm very concious that I could meet my son's educational needs at home, however he would definitely miss out on the social aspect of school. I hadn't expected these first few weeks to be so emotional and challenging! Any advice from you would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I am unsure of what curriculum you would be following, however if it is the British one, I am sure you can ask at the British Council for further info.
