Travel for a Year and coming back

Anonymous
I would think if a spot were available, your child would get some type of priority. Having to reapply as a new applicant seems silly, but I guess every school is different.

How do schools handle this? Will they allow us to come back with no application/admission process and save our spot? Our child is in very good standing, strong academically, athletic and involved. I think we are in 'good standing' for whatever that means and for whatever that is worth.

This opportunity is a full year away (child will be in 6th grade when we go) so we have some time to plan but I want to approach the school in the best way possible. How is this normally handled by the school? We love the school and don't want to go anywhere else but it is a unique opportunity for our family and we want to take it.


Just talk to your school.

This was our scenario to a t.
