| We are at a feeder and I'm curious about the other feeders and whether the majority of fifth graders from these schools continue on to DCI. Also, is the school still on schedule to move into Walter Reed for 2017? Will construction be complete by then or will it still be ongoing? Thank you for any information. I know a lot of families with younger kids at feeders, but none who have a middle/high school aged child. |

Yes they are still on track to move in Fall 2017.
Percentage of students continuing has varied quite a bit between schools and it's only been open for 2 years, so not sure whether that pattern will continue. They provide this data at their open houses -- watch for the dates (follow on Twitter or Facebook) and attend one this fall. |

| My DC will be leaving a feeder next year. Had hoped to attend DCI but scores were not good. Suspect school will improve but didn't feel comfortable taking a risk when we had other options. |

| We are definitely going to DCI. Latin is totally unimpressive, and my neighbor's kid goes to BASIS and hates it. I am excited for them, as I was an IB grad as well! I am sure it will be great. |

I've heard this repeated many times by parents from our feeder. |

| Does anyone know if DCI will allow your child to take an IB exam in a language that isn't offered at the school? For instance, can you take a subsidiary level Italian exam, even though Italian isn't offered at the school? |

That's 4 years into the future - given that their first handful of 9th graders are just starting this fall. Call their IB coordinator and ask. |

That's great news! We are at a feeder and are very hopeful. When you have a moment, could you elaborate on some of the school aspects that make you so happy. Thanks! |

| Deal sounds awful! Glad we have DCI, but if we didn't it would be Latin or Hardy. |
