[quote=Anonymous]If you don't like GDS, don't send your child there. Trying to move a child between such similarly highly regarded programs may often be viewed by the schools as a sign that the parents are a pain. They won't take it out on your kid, but they are not likely to admit her. When we talk about fit, we mean that the school's approach to education is similar to your child's learning style and your own preference. Some children need a highly structured program that focuses on basic skills rather than larger questions and ideas. And some parents prefer a culture that requires children use "sir/ma'am." You won't find that at GDS. If your only problem is the after school program, consider the alternatives. What about a part-time nanny? Can you keep your current child care arrangement? If you are unfamiliar with US schools and being fully bilingual is important, consider Washington International School. [/quote]
