When you are ready to relocate abroad, there are many decisions you need to consider.
Finding a new house is very important and you will want to find a house that is close to your job.
If you are moving to Scotland with children, you will also want to look at the schools that are located within the vicinity of your house.
Once you have chosen a place to live, IntlMOVE will ship your household goods and personal effects overseas and deliver them to your new home.

The school your children will attend is determined by the location of your house, otherwise known as your “Catchment Area.”
If you would rather your children attend a school in a different Catchment Area, you can apply for a placing request.
There is no guarantee that the other schools will accept your children because there are often limited spaces for children who want to go to schools outside of their assigned locations.

Scottish schools are different from schools in other parts of the United Kingdom.
The Scottish school system offers more courses in a wider variety of subjects, while other schools in the United Kingdom focus more on core subjects.
When your children attend a university, they will go for four years whereas they will attend a university for three years elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

Most of the public schools in Scotland have no religious affiliation, but there is one Jewish primary school and some Roman Catholic state schools that are funded by the Scottish Government.
The Roman Catholic Church of Scotland presides over some decisions made in these schools with Catholic affiliation.
The Roman Catholic Church of Scotland also appoints a chaplain at each of these schools.

Educational standards are monitored and audited by three different governing bodies.
The standards for pre-schools are inspected by the Care Commission.
Pre-schools, primary schools and further education are regulated and inspected by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Education.
The Scottish Office of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA Scotland) is responsible for auditing and managing higher education.

In Scotland, children start primary school between the ages of 4 ½ and 5 ½.
Children attend primary school for seven years and begin secondary school between the ages of 11 and 12.
When students are between the ages of 15 and 16, they are required to take an intermediate exam that consists of about eight core subjects.
Secondary school is mandatory for four years, but students can stay for an additional two years after they complete their standard grades.
If children want to further their education and go on to college, they must attend a fifth year of secondary school.
Most children who go on to universities stay for a sixth year of secondary school.
The sixth year is almost always mandatory for students who want to attend English universities of if they want to study law or medicine.

International schools and some private schools have different levels and schedules for education.
If you are moving overseas for a new job, some companies will put education expenses for your children in your corporate relocation package.
Determine your budget for school and what is important to you for your children’s education.
Research which schools you want your children to attend and choose a home that is close to your top school of choice.
When you have chosen your new home, let IntlMOVE help move your household goods and personal effects overseas so you can begin your new life in Scotland.
