Hi,
I need help from Canadian folks in Aramco or anyone who had experience dealing with Aramco Schools. I am from Ontario, Canada and my 2 kids have just finished grade 3 and grade 5 going to next grades in September.
For grade 5 child, I submitted his provincial school results of grade 5,4 & 3 as well as standard test, EQAO, result of grade 3 but Aramco schools deferred admission pending local assessment once he will be there. They asked for grade 5 standard test result but in Ontario EQAO is only conducted in grade 3, 6, 9 & 10. I repeatedly explained this to school but they are saying they do not understand the school system and have to assess English language and academic ability once he is there.
They also deferred admission of grade 3 kid since his standard EQAO test result of grade 3 will only be available once school reopens in September. There is no guarantee of admission after local assessment and they explained option of local international schools in case Aramco schools will not accept the kids. There is also no guarantee of EAP.
Surprisingly, SAES doesn’t understand the school system of Canada as I know lots of Canadians moved there with kids recently. Do all Canadians go through the same deferral admission and local assessment process? Any Canadian who went through the same process? I do not want to jeopardize kid’s education in this process as in order to move there, I have to resign from my current job and move family before Aramco can make an admission decision after assessment.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :idea:
