[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the British school has changed in recent years, but when we toured the kids looked miserable. I didn’t see a lot of smiles. They also do not have good outdoor space.

For your location there are plenty of good schools. Washington Episcopal and St. Patrick’s come to mind. Washington Episcopal has a decent sized population of kids from overseas.

But people are right you need to be doing a lot of homework now and getting applications in ASAP.[/quote]

Come on.  I hardly think your impression during a tour some years ago is worth mentioning.  I don't have kids at BIS but know people who are happy with it (that said, more people are happy with younger grades than HS).

WES is a good option.

Since OP's kids are young and they plan to only stay a few years, a K-8 might be a good option.  They can be a bit more academically rigorous as they have to worry about placing their graduating 8th graders into their next schools.  At some K-12s, friends tell me the middle schools can be a bit overlooked.[/quote]
