Rachel has been to FIVE schools in FOUR cities over THREE years in TWO countries. Today . . . she became a "GRADER." Grade ONE.
Since Rachel was three she has spoken of the "Graders." In her eyes they are a mysterious and wonderful, untouchable group. They are the "cool people," the "big kids" the ones who ride in the back of the bus and get homework. Until today they have been just a dream that she thought she would never attain. Finally though, after Chinese pre-pre K, International pre K, Chinese K, American K and International K she has arrived. Look out first Grade!
She attends a wonderful International school with students from all over the world. The staff are brilliant people who do so much more than educate. They not only teach but genuinely nurture the students in their learning, their life and their faith. We are especially thankful that Rachel gets to spend her days with people just like her. Children who live in a foreign culture grow up with a unique set of challenges and opportunities. We are thrilled that Rachel gets to experience all of that with a wonderful community of children who don't know where "home" is.
