Find out what type of tuition assistance the WB will provide. What about the British School? It's very diverse and your kids will be on track when you return to the UK

"It's very international" - that's what true diversity is about.

Takoma park sounds great. I am English and love Brighton!!!

To the PP that said Moco but not East of Rockville, Whats wrong East of Rockville?? Our Elem school in Burtonsville is a blue ribbon Elem school and has lots of diversity.
You sound like a Potomac snob.

I don't know about very diverse, but to the extent there is diversity, mostly these groups are segregated.

OP I work at the World bank. Your receipt of expat benefits will depend on whether your husband will be staff or contractual. If staff, he will get a mobility premium, the amount of which is determined by the size of your family. For a family of the size of yours you will receive about $40k per annum (untaxed). I have a family of 5 and I receive $40k in addition to my salary which is the same as your husband's. You will receive this premiun for 10 years but after 5 years, it is depreciated evenly over the last 5 years. Just FYI as you plan. Good luck.
