After a week in China, Juliana and Joseph started at their new international school called Dulwich College Suzhou or DCSZ. The original Dulwich College (note the "w" is silent) is a British boarding school in South London whose most famous alumnus is Ernest Shackleton of Antarctica fame. If you have never heard of Shackleton, I highly recommend the book Endurance which is the incredible story of his attempt to cross the antarctic continent.
Juliana is entering 3rd grade or as the British call it - "Year 4". Juliana's teacher, Mr. Pegg, is originally from South Africa, was educated in England and taught elementary school in the UK and Indonesia. Joseph's "Year 2" teacher, Miss Stark, is a German who moved to Suzhou from Tasmania. She speaks fluent Swahili. All of the children take mandarin, cooking class, music, art, and phys-ed every week. There is also a lab called "Design Technology" which sounds a lot like shop. All in all, the school sounds amazing.
Juliana and Joseph are shown in their Dulwich uniforms. The girls wear neckties (which Dad has helps her tie each morning). The younger boys like Joseph get away with only polo shirts, but are required to wear their Dulwich ball caps wherever they are outside in their uniform.

Great uniforms! We need a picture of Joseph in the Dulwich ballcap.
Do Marco and Maria have uniforms too?
The church looks very interesting. I don't remember ever seeing a black brick church before.
Hope school is going well!
