Gwyneth Paltrow has just taken one step closer to becoming an honorary English person by deciding to educate her children in England. Gwyneth and her husband (Coldplay’s Chris Martin) have just sold their townhouse in New York’s trendy TriBeCa area because they want to be in London full-time.
I know a lot of people are going to pick on Gwyneth for eschewing the American lifestyle, but I feel her pain — I’m enrolling my child in an English school when I move back to the States next week, so that she can continue her education in England full time in a few years time.
The Daily Mail reports: After recently purchasing the house immediately next door to their home in London’s Belsize Park, Gwyneth and her husband Chris Martin have decided they want to educate their children - Apple, three, and one-year-old Moses - in the capital.
“They bought the house next to their London pad so they can have more space and plan to put their children through British schools. Gwyneth is particularly impressed with the English education system.”
The 34-year-old actress and 30-year-old Coldplay singer Chris won’t struggle with the fees if they opt to send their children to a top English prep school - they made a £3million profit on their TriBeCa home.

Christ, I hope she doesn't educate her kids the same place I do. Then again, we probably won't live in north London so I suppose the chances are slim.

Chris Martin is such an armchair philanthropist.

Geez, any time anyone even mentions that something besides America might do something better, people have a sh*t fit. I work in the American school system, it can be pretty bad.

We have great private schools. My school district where my children attend is great. My first grader reads at a third grade level and does fourth grade math. Schools around here are pretty good. They have a high graduation rate as well as high numbers of grads that seek higher education. Granted our school districts median income is six figures so we never really have a hard time passing levys.
