Thinking about moving to Pune for a year

M
#1
Earlier in the year I spent a month in Pune with my husband and 2 girls. We had a good time and have been thinking about going to live there for a year. My parents are originally from Pune but I was born in the UK and my husband is English (WHite).

The main thing putting me off is whether it would be a good idea to uproot my children. People keep saying I should do it now before they reach high School (they are 8 and 6). I have no idea how the school system works in Pune but would ideally want them to attend school for that year. Also, I read a not very encouraging article in the Pune Mirror about how 60% of school children are unwilling to accept people from other states in India never mind other countries!

Can anyone tell me where I can find how the school system works? Would it just be a case of contacting schools (in the UK the govt will find your local school if you call them). Also, are people really that intolerant in Pune? - I certainly didn't pick up on it when I was there!

Thanks in advance,
Monica

Thanks Ramesh, I will be staying in Erandwane if I do go there as my family has a place there. I'll try and contact the international schools from here. When we were out there we visited 'New India school' and it seemed nice but I don't know much about it.

Hi Monica,

You can try to find other international schools like Amonora or sharad pawar international school.
