i think we’ve finally arrived at a school choice for jan, the third we’ve seen so far. it’s not our first choice, but considering the distance from the school, and moving is not an option until mid next year (i still have 3 moving boxes left to unpack, btw), plus the fact that the classes will be conducted in the afternoons, we just couldn’t see how we can make it work with tkps. even if i find a school bus that would be willing to bring jan to and fro, it will mean that he won’t make it home before 7pm. that leaves just enough time for dinner and some down time before it’s time for bed. home work and other activities will have to be in the mornings, and i will be the one who will supervise everything. which wouldn’t have been a problem, if there wasn’t mia to take care of, too. nah, it won’t work.

we’ve found a compromise in ptps. we’ve visited the school, and their facilites are topnotch, the best we’ve seen so far. the school also aims to provide a caring environment for its students, and we had a really good impression based on our talk with the principal. and unlike most schools which offer science only starting in the third grade, ptps offers a programme as early as the first grade to spark interest in science. seeing how jan enjoys and raves about his science class in kindergarten, i think it might just be what he needs. yes, i have a good feeling that jan will thrive in ptps quite well.

it’s now just a question of whether he gets a place when it’s our turn to register.
