[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so don't go. sheesh. people are so unbelievably petty. its an INTERNATIONAL school!! And if someone pulls their kid "because of the trip" I call bullshit. They wanted to leave anyway and just found something to pin it on.[/quote]

I was sure our family wouldn't stay for the DCI, but the 5th grade trip moved the departure up by a year.  No way my 10 yo is going to Asia without a parent.  No way our family budget can accomodate $3500 for one child's "vacation" (times 2 if a parent would accompany), the whole family doesn't spend that much when we all go away (think campgrounds, and relative's spare rooms).

The closest trips I'm aware of -- Stokes sends 6th graders, but to much closer countries, that are close to the same time zone.  Deal has optional one week trips during spring break.  WES (Wash Episcopal) sends 7th & 8th, included in tuition.

Does anyone know if WIS (Wash International School) has a 5th grade trip for the primary students before they move to MS campus?  [/quote]
