Questions

<p>I think your dual citizenship would be a positive, not a negative. As for which address to list, I would ask the admissions officer who interviews your daughter. It’s a very good thing that your family is thinking of this soon. The fall will be here before you know it and you’ll be touring schools with your daughter. I think you will find a number of “Third Culture Kids” at boarding schools. </p>

<p>Our experience has been positive thus far. My son is adjusting to a “new normal” and that was expected. The adjustment would have occurred no matter which school he would have attended. As for younger siblings, my youngest has taken it completely in stride. My daughter, who is closer to my son, is primarily really jealous! With Facebook and texts, it’s easier for them to stay in touch. It is a somewhat strange experience, though; having one less child in the house. It has effected me more than I expected. It’s just a completely different dynamic without the “oldest boy” at the table, etc. Needless to say, we are looking forward to Thanksgiving break.</p>

<p>Regarding what “other people” will think - try to find parents who have actually sent their children to prep school. They are the ones that can give you the information that will be the most use for you. There will be people who will judge you for it and say things like, “Oh, I couldnever send my child away.” </p>

<p>You will not be “sending her away.” You will be allowing her to go. There is a big difference. I was asked recently if I was ready to let my own daughter go and I said that it would be cruel to stop her. </p>

<p>Oh, and welcome to CC. :)</p>
