My daughter will attend high school in Canada after spending 8 years in my home country’s schooling system. Her dad is Canadian and she speaks English so I don’t worry about language barrier. But Canadian public schools are very different from here. What can I do to help her adjust?
Second-hand observation here: I know many international families who moved abroad with their kids at various ages; other than the language barrier that won’t be an issue for your daughter, there wasn’t much difference or extra parental concern necessary regardless of the country or school their child attended, regardless of their origin country.
Support, encouragement, listening to their kids, helping when necessary.
She’ll probably assimilate into the local culture and customs with what seems like shocking ease. And she’ll probably have the same troubles, trials and concerns that any student does regardless of which school they attend.
