[quote=Anonymous]The anti-WIS poster is so annoying and predictable. I wonder if it’s the same person who now sh*tposts about Maret.

I have two kids who graduated from WIS. Both are at top 15 colleges. We loved WIS. To respond to the original query: Since we’ve lived here for a long time, we didn’t need our kids’ school to provide us with a new social group (although we made a lot of friends and of course so did our kids). We both travel for work, so we also didn’t need our kids’ school to provide us with heavy-duty volunteer opportunities. We volunteered when we could for one-day events. But you should connect with actual current parents to see if it’s a match for you. Trolls here won’t help.

Varsity soccer is the main draw for spectator sports at WIS since there’s no football team.

If any of the above doesn’t suit you, there are so many other good options. But it was a great school for our kids, and they are thriving at very academically challenging colleges.  My main complaints were that lunch wasn’t covered in tuition (I think that may have changed?) and that one of our kids had a bad teacher who subsequently was hired by Sidwell/GDS/Maret. (I’m intentionally not specifying since it’s possible that more than one teacher has made that move.)

As for it “not being an international school” and someone “taking a poll” at a dinner, that’s just odd and I don’t know what to say other than that if your kids end up at WIS, you can feel free to Google names in the family directory to prove your companions/speculation wrong. Yes, there are other great options, and WIS is small, so many diplomats have children at other local schools. Not a revelation. [/quote]
