[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burke parent here. I have zero worries about it impacting the enrollment of the "fringe" (hilarious!!) independent schools in DC. But I am curious as to how a for-profit school model will work. If the they aren't accredited by NAIS, or have an endowment or board, and their assumed primary mission is profit, where does that leave their educational pedagogy?

I haven't heard much about how or what they are going to teach, just that it will be a Chinese immersion school in the States, and a English immersion school in China. And if they are going to scale up to 2500, with 400 boarders, those students are going to have to come from all over the country. I can't imagine that many DC families shelling out 45K for a for-profit school when there are so many great private and public options already. I don't know of any families who are attracted to for-profit colleges, so why would they want their kids attend a pricey for-profit HS? It just seems sketchy. [/quote]

In a nutshell you summarized what my husband and I were discussing.  There is a lot of flash but unclear substance [/quote]a

Aren’t the borders coming from China?[/quote]
