So today we had the meet and greet at the school - the girls got to meet the other kids in their classes who didn't attend the summer program and we met other parents and got some great resources for practical issues - like doctors, dentists, and orthodontists! The girls got another detailed tour of the campus a
It was a great program - the school had some of the older students to act as peer mentors and answer any questions or address any concerns the kids had - they also had the new kids play games to break the ice and learn a little about each other. Really got the kids excited about meeting new people and starting school.
It truly is an international school - kids from Australia to Vietnam and just about everyplace in between! And the have flags for all of the countries of the students attending! My kids are going to have a grand adventure!
I love your blog, Terri! So interesting to read about your Paris adventure and compare it to our "Switzerland adventure"... :) I'm sure you will love living in Paris; you have the right attitude to make the best of every situation which will help overcome some of the hurdles at the beginning...and once everything is sorted out, you will love it!

Hi Teresa
Glad to hear you are all settling in. I would be glad to hear how your girls get on at EABJM. My Husband and I may have the opportunity next year to live in Paris for 3 years and EABJM is one of the school we are looking at. Our girls are 11 and 6. We really hope we get the chance to live in Paris also. Have fun and best wishes.

I have to say the school is awesome - the girls have made friends quickly and the parents' association is an invaluable resource. If you get the chance and get in the school I say go for it - I have not met one person who regrets it! And if you come, let me know! We can be friends!

Hi Teresa
Thanks that would be great. We'll know in a couple of months, if we've been successful. In the mean time I will watch your antics and gather tips from your blog.
