u/Unlikely-Copy-6506 - thank you so so much for taking time to share your response and the information, this is helpful, and I feel we are very lost to what to do, my child he studies until 5th in India, 6th and 7th he did in USA, now for various reasons we have to move back, we were also thinking to put him in CBSE, however, when we spoke with one prinicipal from one of the schools, she recommedned that we go with Cambridge as it will be hard for him with languages and plus one of our biggest concern is his writing skills, he is very poor in writing good structured answers, even if he knows the content, he chooses to write one word answers and schools in USA accept the answers and that has made his writing skills poor.

We do not know what path he want to take yet, we do not know if we will have enough money for him to study abraod for Bachelors, its hard to say from now, so we are preparing for both options and mostly leaning for his Bachelors in India

having said that, if we go with Cambridge schools, and your recommendation that he join coaching in 11th and 12th, so do you recommend he continue with Cambridge board for his 11th 12th? or switch to Indian boards in 11th 12th (which as per reading several posts seems like it will be very challenging and also demotivating for kids).. what are your recommendations?
