That's quite amusing as the English state school system is frequently regarded as being among the poorest in Europe - the British have a reputation for being taught how to pass exams, being linguistically backward (compared to the bi- or trilingual Dutch, Belgians and Scandinavians, and especially so now that only 3 years of foreign language teaching is compulsory), grammatically deficient and generally unprepared with useful work skills! If someone was moving to Europe for the sake of education, I'd have to suggest a German or French school! Better still, go to Singapore - the British-Singaporeans I've met have been astonishingly well educated.
Out of interest, how do you teach foreign languages when homeschooling? My French and German teachers were all fluent in their language, having spent years or even decades living and often teaching in countries where the language is spoken natively, so I learned the languages as much by just talking with them constantly about movies we'd seen and interests we had as by any formal exercises.
BTW, do you mean "public school" in the international sense (as in state-run) or "public school" in the British sense (i.e. top-notch independent school like Eton, Rugby, etc. charging £10,000+ per year fees)? ;)
