    Dear Ramya

    I was comparing the Indian syllabus with the KG one here and it looks the same.So,pls do not worry.My son who is in KG is doing all that which is mentioned here as being taught in LKG,UKG and 1st combined,except that he is not doing numbers till 1000 and tables.He has good amount of writing homework too and also has journal writing ,which I think brings out the creative thinking in kids.

    Dear Ramya

    The fees for my son is $741 a month and comes to $7410 for 10 months. Apart from that,we do have to get school supplies etc at the beginning of the year and sometimes in the middle of the year too. That might be around $ 200 or so.This school supplies thing applies to public schools too.The school uniform comes to around $350 to 400 depending on how many sets you buy.

    This school has till 12th grade and it is one of the best in our area with a good mix of all ethnic groups. The fees in private schools depends a lot on your area and location.
    We do have schools with a fees of $19,000 a yr too,the really posh ones.

    Getting admission- I got the school details from the net,called them to fix an apptment. My son had to go thru' a 1 hr interview to be selected during which time they checked to see whether he knows basics like alphabets,numbers,phonics,reading etc.We were not allowed to be present there at that time.The reason we went for a private school was because he had to be 5 yrs old as of 31st Sep to be in KG but he completed 5 only on 1st nov,so all public schools refused admission and we did not want him to lose another yr doing prekg just because of a one month age gap. Then there were a number of Christian private schools with lower fees whose main criteria was that the child should be Christian,which again,he was not.. I am not aware of student aids so I cannot comment on that.
