Kenley's First Day at Tyger Valley College

These are photos from Kenley's first day of school at Tyger Valley College. She is in grade 00, for four year old children, which they call "double knot" here in South Africa. So far, she seems to be very excited and likes her class and teacher. They are required to wear the school uniform you see below. This is her summer uniform and they have another for Winter. Also the Pre-preperatory grades wear less formal uniforms than the preparatory and college grades. The African school year runs from January-December, with a few breaks of about three weeks each in between. I have grown to really like this school calendar better than the US one. It seems like a much easier transition for all.

Gia also attended TVC before she began at the American school here and had a great experience. It is a beautiful campus and the Pre-preperatory program, which both girls attended was great.
