The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service (commonly abbreviated SFS) is a school within Georgetown University in Washington, DC, United States.

 Boarding School Options   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Schools in the northeastern U.S. often have the largest influx of students at tenth grade (children attend private day schools through grade nine) while others generally have most students entering at ninth grade.
When the school at post is not considered adequate, the at post allowance will reflect the cost of the local school and the away from post allowance will be calculated to allow parents to have most costs of a boarding school reimbursed.
If the boarding school you choose is more than the average cost, or at a greater distance than the geographic area on which the amount is calculated, or if your child travels more often than the three times a year on which the amount is determined, you will undoubtedly have out of pocket expenses.

In this document, we will discuss the Foreign Service, the Foreign Service child and the issues they face, ways that boarding schools can assist these children with their adjustment to the boarding school experience, and end with comments from FS students themselves as to how they view their own experiences.
Many Foreign Service families feel that American international schools offer a school culture that values education and a multinational student body that is engaged in and highly values learning.
However, some families choose to exercise the boarding school option for a variety of reasons: there isn’t an adequate school at post for a particular grade level; the student is seeking increased opportunities for advanced classes or extracurricular activities; special educational needs cannot be met at the school at post.
