[quote=Anonymous]My kids have been at WIS for many years and we've been very happy. My daughter is now in the IB Diploma Program and I won't lie it's very tough - but will be well worth it. College placement is excellent - not sure what the previous poster was referring to - plenty of Ivies and top tier schools every year (both who have been accepted and enrolled). Is it a perfect place? Of course not, but anyone telling you their school is perfect is not really paying attention...there is always room for improvement. The Primary School has made great strides in the past few years with its program. Keep in mind, however, that an immersion program and very tough academic program is not for every child. Kids in the primary school are learning to read, write and speak in 2 languages at the same time, not to mention math and science - not an easy thing. Once they get to the middle school and upper school the expectation is on application of knowledge - not simple regurgitation of information. No multiple choice stuff -  A LOT of writing and analysis. 
The person above is also correct about the community - a nice, respectable and interesting group of families. Makes for a great atmosphere! However, most important is making the choice the is right for your child - good luck![/quote]
