Obama's Choose Friends

The new first family have chosen the Sidwell Friends School, a private school in Northwest Washington DC, for their children to attend.

Washington Post:

The choice means that the Obama girls will be going to class on two separate campuses in two different cities. Sidwell's lower school, in Bethesda, is where Sasha would attend second grade. Malia is in the fifth grade, part of Sidwell's middle school, located on the same campus as the high school in Northwest Washington, a few miles from the lower school.

Sidwell has between 1,000 and 1,100 students and says 39 percent of them self-identify as students of color. Tuition this year for elementary school is $28,442; for the middle school, $29,442.
