Oh. Which state is it then? I can never remember if Alaska or Hawaii is #50. Is Puerto Rico #50 or #51?

So we are just glossing over this? Really?

I think it's bren addressed at least three times on page 1.

The OP said 5th grade. It's more common in MS.

Yes, I can read sweetheart. I chose to post about Oyster's trips anyway because someone (obviously not you) may find that information to be helpful. Are you now going to chastise the DCI poster above, or are your useless comments reserved only for people who offer information about Oyster?

So far, it looks like the only DC schools that offer 5th grade language trips are Yu Ying (China), DC Bilingual (PR) and Stokes (Panama & Martinique). Are there any other DC schools that offer such trips? With DCI in operation, will the charters continue to have these trips? Does WIS offer a 5th grade trip abroad?

No, but I can go on and on about the abroad trips taken at Deal.

What are you talking about?!? The focus of this thread appears to be on trips abroad for language immersion students. Deal is not/will not become an immersion school--and whatever trips abroad they offer will probably decline since Oyster is no longer a feeder (yay!).

However, if you really need to feel included, please feel free to tell us all about the language immersion trips abroad at Deal for students who (primarily) came from Oyster. In the future, I guess those trips will be watered down for the handful of Bancroft students who attend Deal, and whoever else wants to join from Deal. Go on, we're all ears

Not at all. I have always held the position that Oyster should NOT feed to Deal--it siphons off kids who've studied the language since PK or K. We never intended to send our kids to Deal, and now I'm thrilled it's no longer an option for other Oyster families. If they want their children to attend Deal, then they should move IB--the sooner the better to make room for families that are truly committed to Oyster. We own our single family home that's IB for Oyster. If we wanted our children to attend Deal, we could easily rent an apartment IB or move. We're not remotely interested in either option. Nice try though.

How are these trips funded? Are there fundraisers or are parents expected to write a check for the whole thing?

No we aren't. I keep coming back to giggle about it.

Think of all those kids who go abroad each day to attend private schools in DC.
