Just wanted to add some info for the OP. I currently have a child enrolled in ICA and cannot praise the school highly enough. I, and a number of other ICA parents received offers from more established international schools including ESF and to a person we chose ICA for our children. The majority of the parents who have their children enrolled there will complete primary education there, it is not a 'transit' school where people mark time until places at other schools become available. In fact a large percentage of children in the years 2 and 3 actually came from ESF or other international schools to ICA! The school is affiliated to Small World kindergarten which has an excellent (and well-deserved) reputation, built over 25 years and the team behind Small World is the same team behind ICA. There are currently plans afoot to continue the education offered beyond primary and into secondary, which will be wonderful indeed!! You should know that already the school has been very well subscribed and also that Small World Kindergarten children receive priority. That said I suspect that due to the fact it is a brand new school it may well be easier to gain a place than some of the more established international school but I am certain that once more people hear about it and see what is being offered that will change very rapidly!!!!! Good luck with your move and your school hunt it is indeed a stressful time and I hope it goes as smoothly as it can for you!!!!
