[quote=Anonymous]River told parents that it was heavily outbid on the old GDS campus by another independent school well-funded school (they didn't say, but the hint was that it was The Avenues or something similar). That independent school has, I believe, pulled out, thus the sale to DCPS.

River does not have a bus currently. They start at 18 months and go to 3rd grade. The bulk of the students are pre-K and under. There is an infants program, but it's exclusively staff kids and the hearing-impaired. The vast majority of the kids are from the DC Palisades area or surrounding environs, in accordance with "people don't want to commute long distances for preschool". (A small number of kids at River have cochlear implants and commute from wherever, but it's probably no more than 1 out of 10 kids overall.)

River currently offers audiology and other services for the hearing impaired. With the expansion, they'd turn that into a larger clinic, but it would still be specifically on being a specialty center for hearing challenges.
