[quote=Anonymous]Your friend's son is in 5th grade in the UK which is called Year 4 in the US (9-10 year olds). My kids moved from the British to the US system (in a local DC private now). I agree that the early years are a bit slower in the US system, but by Year 3 (in the US), things have pretty much caught up. Especially if we're talking about a top private school in this area where all the kids will be bright for their age. I would strongly advise your friend to put the child in with the same age group, so start Year 5 in a US private school next year. If they want the kid to easily be accepted in British universities or transfer back, they should look at WIS (because of the IB). Maybe the British School if the IB is really important to them (but better to take a place at one of the top US privates if not). I hope that helps.[/quote]
