Yes. For some context, I went to local schools. My sister had some learning difficulties and went to international schools. My older one has learning issues and goes to an international school. My younger one has just finished local primary school. The local curriculum and schools do work very well for some kids but not so well for others. I find it to be a good thing when one is able to have options International schools are also varied, with different curriculums and philosophies. So you do have to do your research to see which best suits the child’s needs and your philosophies . For those with learning difficulties especially, historically, the options in the local system have been more limited.
