Dear Andrea,

Perhaps we should start an ex-Dubai club?

My family and I are moving to Lausanne in August. Would it be too much to ask for some advice? My son initially went to Jumeirah Primary School, but I found the standard too low so I moved him to The Westminster School where they follow the ICSE. He has just completed Grade 4 and hopefully he will join Grade 5 in Switzerland.

I plan to send him to a Public School in Lausanne. Do you have any recommendations? I hear that even though all public schools are well funded, there are some schools in which there is a lot of help for foreign students as those schools don't have many foreign students themselves.
