Scouting out schools

This morning we had an appointment to visit a potential school for Isabel-the Sacuanjoche International School (see website: Sacuanjoche International School | Sacuanjoche International School – Esquela Internacional – International School Nicaragua – Bilingual Schools – Granada,Nicaragua). It is a bilingual school (English-Spanish), with the majority of instuction in Spanish, and they are using a mix of Nicaraguan and US curriculum. Isabel immediately was off playing with the other children and said she "really likes it" and wants to go back there. They just opened last fall so are still a bit in transition and will open the new pre-school/pre-k building on April 2 (which is where Isabel would go). We got a tour of the new space they are working on and Raul had several safety concerns. They assured us everything would be in tip-top shape by the time it opens and offered for him to come and do a final "assessment/look-over." The Director said they may not be able to address every one of his concerns, but they would welcome the extra set of eyes and do what they could. After only 1 week Raul has already found some helpful and productive responsibilities!
