a] she wanted to do the International Baccalaureate and it was no longer available in York. The IB means she can study a far wider range of subjects at advanced level [rather than the three or four at A level] which she is very keen to do. She likes science, maths and history and english and languages, so it seems crazy to give them up. It will be hard work though.
b] she got a big scholarship to attend the George School, and we got financial help as well.
c] she wants to stay in touch with her American heritage. She has family and family friends nearby in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
d] she seems to want to live adventurously [Quaker text http://www.quaker.org.uk/advices/27 ] and we wanted to support her in that.
The reality is that I am thinking, "oh no, why is she going away?" Got to be strong.
