[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no direct experience but have heard from other international families that British International (and also the French and German schools) live in kind of a 'bubble' outside of the private schools in the DC area and don't really interact much with other students from other schools, even those who are also expats in the USA. Like I said, no direct knowledge just what was passed on to me. [/quote]

This was our experience too at Washington International School.  We found it a positive aspect.[/quote]

That may have been your experience, but not ours at WIS.  We've been at WIS since PreK and my kids are now in the Upper School.  They have a large circle of friends outside of WIS, including kids from public and private schools.  They meet kids through outside activities and then the circles just grow.  For example, DD made a good friend at one of the "Big Three" privates through an extracurricular activity, then met many of her friends and now they all are friends.  etc. etc. etc.  I often hear "Mom, we're all going to Wilson to watch the soccer match."

Schools my kids have good friends from:  Duke Ellington, SWW, Wilson, Whitman, BCC, Maret, Bullis, GDS, NCS and STA.

The private school kids seek out friends from other schools because their schools are so small.  [/quote]
