there are good private schools but they are getting a bit crowded as the city has expanded a lot over the last five years. Hope Christian school is where our two go and they do love it there but as I say class sizes are rising. the kindergarten we used to go to SV Montesorri has just opened a new elementary school but it seems to me that we noticed a money driven motive first there.

Secondary wise there are again good private schools with a lot of the ex pats and local worthies seem to send their kids to Hope Christian ( perhaps for continuity) or the National Science High School or Salve Regina. I am not familiar with those schools but parents of kids there that we know seem happy enough.

As it happens we are moving back to the UK as I have had enough of contracting and want to be home every evening with the children as they are getting older I believe they need both mum and dad at home to bring them up. So we are selling our main property and keeping our farms and rubber plantation for retirement income when my wife and I will eventually return after the kiddos are educated.

I cannot get my kind of work in the corporate world even in Manila and as I say I want to be home so easier for me to come back to a nice part of the UK (maybe up north in Scotland where I am from) and get back into a management role.

if you are seriously considering PP as an option I am happy to find out more , we know several teachers and a deputy head.

cheers
