[quote=Anonymous]There is so much misinformation in this thread. If you want to know the model and motivation, go to the school’s promotion center at Mazza. They are very upfront - their goal is to create a Chinese/US partnership program where US families who want to be ready for cultural fluidity and integration are studying side by side with students from Chinese families willing to pay top dollar for the American education model. In terms of what US families would be interested - the characterization that only blind affluence or misfits would be interested is categorically wrong. We’ve had very open conversations with them about our rising 9th grader. True, they hope to attract the affluent looking for the international exposure, but it quickly became apparent to us they are also looking to incentivize families with strong students to help them start with strong class profiles.  Ours is an entrepreneurial family and we know a good deal when we see it. For the strong US candidates Whittle is offering the same quality as the elites at negotiable rates in the form of incentive funding of American students to build the brand and attract the foreign investment. It’s not a done deal for us and we are applying to the elites but also giving Whittle serious consideration. Folks, stop conjecturing from ignorance, go talk to them...[/quote]
