Unfortunately older children, especially those in their teenage years are more likely to suffer with adjustment problems. Problems such as homesickness, loneliness and feelings of inadequacy particularly in the school environment. This is predominantly due to them not being fluent in the Spanish language from the beginning. Therefore it is vital from the beginning to decide whether or not to send your child to a private or international school rather than a local state school. If you can afford to send your child to a private or international school you will obviously need to do some comprehensive research and explore the different options available.
