President-elect Barack Obama's daughters will attend a private Washington school, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama confirmed Friday.
Malia Obama, 10, and Sasha Obama, 7, will attend the prestigious Sidwell Friends school, which Chelsea Clinton attended while her father was in the White House in the 1990s, CNN reported.
"A number of great schools were considered," said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama. "In the end, the Obamas selected the school that was the best fit for what their daughters need right now".
