[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know anything about this planned Chinese school at the old Intelsat Building? https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/private-school-with-global-ambition-to-open-in-dc-and-china-in-2019/2018/02/07/c101aaa2-0b4b-11e8-95a5-c396801049ef_story.html?utm_term=.6d343dc406e9

According to the developer, adding this boarding school for 2,500 students in Van Ness is a "done deal" to open in September 2019. This will be the biggest school int the city in an already saturated neighborhood with terrible traffic  issues, so I am curious about why there has been no discussion in the ANC? Has the City Council addressed this?[/quote]

it will take YEARS to get to 2500 students. I suspect this will mainly appeal to chinese diplomatic community for their kids.   Schools are by right uses.  [/quote]

The Chinese government is cheap as f#ck. The embassy staff send their kids to DC public schools. Go to Hardy MS during the morning drop-off.....lots of Chinese kids wandering onto the campus (they walk from their apartments on Wisconsin Ave).

This school is for the children of wealthy Chinese oligarchs and descendants from the Communist Party elite families.[/quote]
