Hi there
We are considering the option of moving to Costa Mesa with my husbands job, but before we make this big decision we need to get some clarity on a few thinks. We have 2 children, a 6 year old who is year 1 of the UK schools system and a 4 year old who is starting the UK school system in September. As I understand it they would have to move back a year and therefore this would have an impact on when/if we did move back to the UK. So I need to find a school possibly a private international school…this will probably dictate where we live. Any advice on the US school system and advice on schools would be so welcome.
Secondly, recommendations on area in which we would live, with a reasonable 30 minute commute to work ( is traffic bad) we would probably live in corporate or short rental for the first 3/6 months to get a sense of the area but once again advice on areas and rental prices. Always had this notion of living by the sea …is this completely out of scope or is Irvine a much better choice.
We are pretty outdoorsy and the children love golf, football, swimming, so would love if there were similar type clubs for them to get involved in and meet some new friends. I would really appreciate some help on this or advice if anyone has been in a similar situation as Im nervous on how this move will impact the kids.
Thanks again.
