Title: wher are the schools??
Post by: scareylady on July 29, 2005, 12:13:19 PM: We are making the big move later this year and my 14 year old (nearly 15) is coming with us. Does anyone know what are the schools like and how much does it cost?? Has anyone else taken teenagers to live in calis?? How easy did they find it to fit in and settle??

Thanks for any input

Good to know we are not alone. Do your kids speak turkish?? We have been told that 15+ have to speak fluent turkish to go to school, is this true.

We have a place in calis too, on the same road as the sunday market... where are you???

Post by: amanda on July 29, 2005, 14:48:48 PM: Hi Lesley,
Yes you are right we have decided to let the kids have 6 months to one year out of school to learn the language we have been told this is the best thing to do others may disagree, but how can they learn anything if they dont speack the lingo. They are going to have private turkish lessons, until they are able to understand it.
we have a place not fare from you, near the kidney unit, near market.
maybe can meet up

Post by: scareylady on July 29, 2005, 15:15:57 PM: Hi Amanda

Lucy posted last reply, sorry so short. I don't disagree with your decision, we are thinking along the same lines. Six months of intensive turkish lessons will be the best way I think.

The way of life and morals there far out do the loss of eduction here!!

As posted before maybe we could split the costs of lessons and also it will be good for them to know they are not alone!!!

Post by: scareylady on August 02, 2005, 13:11:19 PM: Hi again

I will try and explain the house more........

If you walk up from the boat dolmus, go straight over the round about, past Taurean Estates, keep walking past all the new built villas on the same road until you come to the right turn to the sunday market, where the grassed area is.... Turn right there towards the market. About 75 - 100 yds is the second turning right and there are 2 large white houses with dark wood verandahs??? Pool in the middle?? thats us!!

Any help???/

Post by: leedsutd on January 21, 2010, 20:56:42 PM: i would not advise children over 13 to come out to turkey and go into education it is very difficult for them in the system at this age,also make sure you have all the necessary paperwork from the embassy in uk as they will not be allowed in school otherwise,
Title: wher are the schools??
Post by: julesbob0303 on January 24, 2010, 18:45:09 PM: Just out of interest - does anyone know how scareylady and amanda got on with their move to Turkey? Did the kids all go to school etc? I know the earlier posts on this thread were from almost 5 years ago, but, having just read through it all, I need to know more now!!!! :D

(It's like not knowing the ending of a book :) )
