Teacher,
I am a visiting scholar from China. I will stay at Purdue University for one year( Jan, 2016-Jan 2017). My son is 8 years old (born: July,15,2008). I have rent an apartment in Beau Jardin. I want to know could my son go to your school? He is grade two in China. What should I do to send him to your school?
Thank you!
