Are there any? I have been on so many websites and they all ask crazy fees! My children are in a British school but we are willing to change curriculums if its in an international school but can't seem to find one that will not make us broke in a short amount of time. Private/Public school is not an option as its basically just the Filipino curriculum which is inferior to Western standards.
