WASHINGTON (AP) _ President-elect Barack Obama and his wife have chosen private Sidwell Friends School in Washington for their two daughters.
A spokeswoman for Michelle Obama, Katie McCormick Lelyveld, says the Obamas considered several schools for 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha but decided Sidwell Friends was the best fit.
Sidwell Friends is a private Quaker school in northwest Washington that Chelsea Clinton attended.
The family also looked at Georgetown Day, which was founded in 1945 and was an early pioneer in integration.
