So CM would rather merge with a charter that's not even open than a charter that has been open and seemingly successful for 4 years? Just because the Interntaional theme?

If CM doesn't go to 12th now, then you would just leave after 8th grade then. No harm no foul right?

Not necc no harm no foul because the energy invested in planning such a high school might take away from each school's plans/actions/fundraising, etc., when they could be invested in just creating a really great PK-8 institution.

DCI feeders seemed to have done it without too many hitches. Separate personnel would need to be hired.

You cannot know if there were not too many hitches because we will never know what the feeder schools could have been doing instead of devoting resources to DCI. Also, I suspect that DCI is not, in the end, what some of the feeder school parents envisioned when the planning first started and would now only send their kids there as a last resort or would reluctantly send kids there with reservations. CMI, IT and Bridges are very different schools that are not unified by a common goal, like language immersion, so the comparison to DCI is unwarranted. Now, back to OP's question: I plan to stay at my school until 8 or try for a Latin or Basis if middle school does not work out to be good.

Can you elaborate on DCI not turning out how some feeder parents expected? I am still trying to get a sense of DCI.

International Middle Years Curriculum...the middle school version of International Primary Curriculum, that CMI follows.

No. Just saying that both have the same curriculum.

I think PP is referencing Washington Global, the new middle school. This would not work with CM because CM is looking to expand to grade 8 and Washington global is a middle school not a high school.

CMI parent chiming in here. We plan on staying as long as we can. Hoping that the middle school charter gets approved. The school is amazing and my child is getting a great education in a nurturing setting. The teachers, staff and admin are committed to the kids and the families.
