Hi, Any families out there who relocated to Corfu with a primary age child? I’m looking for advice on school. I was hoping for a private school or international school but all I can find is public. Is this correct? I’d love to hear if your non-Greek speaking child went into Greek public school and how did they like it? Or any options I am missing? My child speaks English and Spanish and is very ionate about robotics and science. Really looking for a school that fosters that curiosity. We will be living in the North.
 
We have only been living on Corfu for a few months but it has been very easy transition (partly thanks to Duolingo and a language hungry partner) and there is so many things to do during the summer.

Our child (11yo) is doing online schooling from the UK via CHS Online, Greek law dictates that you cannot home school but, as he is in ed education establishment in the UK, we don't see how they can object.

With the end of summer approaching, the main concern is finding social activities on the island for him to get him out the house.
