Hi We've skied with our kids for the last few years and think finding a good English "speaking" ski school is one of the main criteria for an enjoyable holiday. The 1st time we went with the Family Ski Company who send one of their chalet helpers along with the beginners ski group. That's great for the 1st years skiing but doesn't help when your kids have progressed to the next class. There are actually quite a lot of English ski schools in the Alps now. Bonus that your children also make some new friends that they can talk to! I've seen a list of English ski schools on a newish website www.skihomepage.co.uk which is worth checking out. Ours are joining one of the teenagers groups this year to give us a bit of a break.
