<p>Every school has to start somewhere - but the school is unaccredited and in its infancy. I think it’s telling that Bluedot didn’t come back with any specific information over the past year. There are so many scams these days I would be loathe to place my children with adults I couldn’t verify, in a school where the curriculum wasn’t advanced.</p>
<p>Having said that - my experience with School Year Abroad which does the same thing on a lesser scale (I.e. one country instead of many) has been a gem. There is significant travel built into the tuition for less than half the price, the students are full immersion, and the program is vetted and funded by the top boarding schools. Students who are admitted are sometimes grandfathered in if they want to do a second year in a different country while still getting AP and honors coursework.</p>
<p>Just saying - it’s a stretch to send a child to a known boarding school. Sending one around the world with total strangers in a new organization that can’t yet be vetted means being a guinea pig.</p>
<p>Nice concept - tempting, intriguing - but not sure it’s ready for prime time until it works it’s kinks out and gets a stronger faculty line-up. 10 million dollars in an endowment isn’t a lot of money to bank even if the majority of students are full pays. Salaries, benefits, supplies (laptops, phones,etc) and facilities rentals would eat up the bulk of that.</p>
