As a foreign service kid, I found transitioning to boarding school FAR easier than transitioning to our neighborhood public school in 6th grade. In public school, my background was weird and I didn’t fit in. In boarding school, it was interesting and not that unusual. Part of that is the age difference; 6th grade vs 10th grade. But most of it was that everyone came from all over and was, or had been, the new kid.
