[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I polled high ranking diplomats at a dinner. No WIS. Rochambeau for those wanting French, and German school for those wanting German. Some in the British school (not so much for the language but the feel of it and it being a part of a $15bn international school system). Obviously, Big 3 and Maret.

I don’t mean to anger anyone, and you could say at least some of these are for the half price of tuition, but the consensus was that WIS is not on the radar as an “international” school.[/quote]

I was upset to learn (very late in the process) that it isn’t actually an international school[/quote]

Out of curiosity, what in your view is an international school?[/quote]

Goodness I’m very behind on this comment and those that followed (weekend social plans anyone? No, just this website?) but I was told that WIS is an independent school that does not affiliate/has no unifying factor with other international schools. So to me, at the time, it seemed like international was slapped on to the name.

The points that someone provided above gave more clarity. The WIS parents I spoke with IRL before decisions were due did not. And that’s okay, we were leaning elsewhere anyways. [/quote]
So your definition is that an international school must have an affiliation with other schools in other countries? [/quote]
