[quote=Anonymous]We already know the two major reasons for the decline in enrollment and what the school is doing about it.

1) The decline in international students post-COVID, especially from China. This is a known phenomenon affecting schools and colleges around the country. Xi Jinping doesn't want the upper class sending their kids to school overseas anymore. SSFS is going to try to keep their homestead program next year, but no dorm/boarding for the foreseeable future.

2) About 100 of the families who left did so between the 2023 and 2024 school years (if I'm not mistaken -- there was an old thread about it on DCUM last year with more details). We don't know all their reasons. However, we do know that a lot of parents were unhappy with the leadership and culture shift that happened in those years. Starting in the summer, SSFS will have a new head of school and new division heads who are committed to more positive and transparent community going forward.

Hopefully that satisfies your questions.[/quote]
