Washington International School

Our family loves WIS! They provide a great learning environment for the children and you can tell that the teachers and staff really care about the students. There are many things we love about WIS, but a few of my favorites are that they do not have a high teacher turnover and that lunch and snacks are included.

We discovered this school when I was frantically looking for a summer care option for my then 3.5-year-old in 2021. They were prompt in their communication and were able to get him a spot in their summer camp a week later. My son had a great time during summer camp and I got such good vibes from the teachers and staff during that one week encounter that I had applied for my two kids to switch here full time the following fall (this was 2021, shorter wait lists compared to now). I can tell that the teachers at WIS love working with the kids and are always happy to see them. My kids are fluent bilingually and are advanced academically because of this school. WIS staff puts the children's safety and comfort above all else. As a parent of a busy household, I appreciate their consistently direct, clear, timely, and professional communication. Every morning my kids walk into the school happily to welcoming faces, and I leave for work with great comfort knowing that they will be well cared for. A true gem!

We have very happy to have found WIS and for the opportunity for our son to learn Mandarin. Our son has been attending WIS for the last 4 months and it has been an amazing experience. His teachers are very caring and compassionate, making it a smooth transition for him and updating us daily on his progress. He has already started speaking a couple of words in Mandarin at home. We enjoy that the classrooms are very clean and that the kids wear separate shoes indoor than outdoor. There is ample indoor learning opportunities and outdoor play equipment for exploring. They provide lunches and snacks, which makes getting out the door in the morning seamless. We only have to provide a few additional items such as diapers, wipes, drinking cup, and blanket for nap time. Our son has really enjoyed the additional tumbling and music classes that they offer. Schedule flexibility has been very helpful. They provide before and after school care as well as summer school hours. They make adjusting schedules for summer and vacations seamless as well. We look forward to staying with WIS for years to come.
