8.25.2010

  • D.C. children will be eating healthier and exercising more this fall in accordance with the D.C. Healthier Schools Act.

  • South Korean parents want a Western education&in the East. Solution: American, Canadian, and British schools are opening campuses in the new Jeju Global Education City in Seogwipo, South Korea. The list includes one name close to home: St. Albans School for boys in Northwest Washington, D.C.
