It's not an immersion school. In fact, it looks exactly like Creative Minds, but a middle school.

Did the Arabic school get approved?

Arabic school denied

Just checked twitter--they denied the Arabic school. That application seemed really weak, which is too bad because I would love Arabic for my kid.

So what happened with the Arabic school? Is it a go?

They may pull in students from traditional DCPS dual language schools or maybe some DCI feeders depending on location.

They originally said they're looking at Ward 3. Depending on their financing, Mass. Ave. isn't out of the question.

Doubtful that any DCI families would switch schools to jump in - why give up on a solid investment and a sure thing? However, it could attract like-minded families who didn't get into DCI.

St. Ann's? The old Latin space?

Not a bad idea. The CM and IT kids will need someplace to go after ES.

Hope they stay away from Ward 3. We already have too much school traffic congestion.

Soon up Arabic school.

Another language immersion school

What the hell is wrong with you? As if learning another language is a bad thing?

I wish they would make it a feeder school for CM or IT?
