[quote=Anonymous]According to an email obtained by the Fairfax County Times, on Feb. 13, Nysmith told parents that “as soon as the news broke, I reached out to our commercial real estate agent to learn more about the situation and explore whether their facility might be a feasible option for us.”

During that time, the headmaster told some parents that the Nysmith School would be absorbing students transferring from the King Abdullah Academy.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I agree that King Abdullah Academy closed due to lack of sustainable business. Its clientele may have been wonderful families, but they weren’t some kind of KSA billionaire-types that happened to be in DC for diplomatic or ex-pat reasons.  Ken Nysmith is definitely not sophisticated enough to have taken a controversial positional to pick up the scraps of a failed/abandoned PIF project.  That’s a certainty.

This is second-generation owner of a family business that worked for a while and now doesn’t.  As the child of a founder of a school that positions itself as being a “gifted” school, Ken’s York College degree speaks volumes.  It may have been a great fit for him, but it ain’t the outcome that most Nysmith parents are hoping for for their kids.  Said differently, he’s went to a school with a 95% acceptance rate, took over his mother’s business and comes across like an unrefined, bombastic and anti-Semitic leader.

He’s Tommy Boy if Callahan Auto Parts was positioned as a school for parents who want to believe that their kids are gifted. Clear the check, deposit the profits, fire teachers who push back, prevent the establishment of an independent board, expel those who oppose. What’s not to like?[/quote]

I thought King Abdullah School was financed by the Saudi Government and the parents paid a small amount of tuition. If that is the case, perhaps absorbing those students meant payment from Saudi Arabia for a large portion of the tuition cost at NYSmith. Were the families diplomats etc?[/quote][/quote]
