[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in a DCPS public school. We will have the opportunity to live abroad for 1 academic year when she is in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th. We anticipate sending her to private high school (and maybe private middle school). She’s a good student, but we aren’t interested in the Big 3 privates (not sure if that’s relevant). Given this situation, would you go abroad for 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th? And would you apply to privates while abroad so that she returns to a private or would you send your kid to public middle school (Deal) and apply to privates once back in the US. I’m thinking through the best time to go abroad and the best time to apply to privates from the perspective of her academics, her social life, and the likelihood of admittance to a local private (think a tier or two less selective than the top privates). Thoughts? (Please don’t tell me not to go at all; we will definitely spend one year abroad and just need to figure out the best timing). [/quote]
