[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But embassy kids are often fully funded right?[/quote] Yes, fully or mostly funded. And WIS is obviously in the FAQ section of the “So, where should I send my kids to school during the Washington posting?” The school is excellent but is designed to provide an education for the many foreign folks stationed in Washington, and everything about it is for that purpose. It’s not an insult, but a family deciding between WIS any of the Big 3/5/10/50 is not the target market. [/quote] Families often apply to multiple schools. Those that place high value on 2nd, or even 3rd, language and on the internationally oriented curriculum, do with some regularity choose WIS over offers from Big 3/5/10/50. So yes, it probably is more about the learning than about the immediate value of school community connections. [/quote]
