I know 3 expat families who are living in Nzwa who have their children (ages 4 to 15) in local schools in Nizwa and Izki. The younger ones are doing well and speaking Arabic (yet one 4 yr old picked up the spitting habit which had to be dealt with). The older ones are doing fine in the Indian and Pakistani schools. I know of another family who choose to homeschool. It all seems to work for them.

Ah, that's another topic--schools. I hear the international ones are quite expensive. Do the universities or other employers provide any education allowance or subsidy?

SQU might do that but nobody else does to my knowledge.

For everyone's information: it seems SQU does provide tuition for kids, but they seem to be alone in this.
