[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for insight from parents who chose WIS for their kids starting from elementary school.

We’re an American family looking at WIS for our kindergartener and eventually his brother.

What have you liked and not liked about the school? Are families mostly non-American? Is it a transient school of mostly diplomats/temporary residents? 
If you could do it over, would you choose WIS or somewhere else?[/quote]

The split between American and non American families is almost 50-50.

The population is not transient at all as most of the international families are not affiliated with the diplomatic core or temporary residents.

We would definitely choose WIS again.

In fact we chose WIS over one of the Big 3 because we didn’t want to deal with the typical DC prep school striver scene. [/quote]

I call bullshit.  Why did you apply to a Big 3 in the first place then?[/quote]

I am not the previous poster, but we applied to a big 3, WIS and two other schools, and we ended up choosing one of the two other schools.  We loved so many things about WIS and think its a wonderful spot for the right kid, though.  The poster "calling BS" appears to miss the point that schools are about fit at a certain point.  Why call this person a liar?[/quote]
