[quote=Anonymous]I have asked my previous post 17:23 to be deleted because I did the quotes wrong, I hope they do delete it, otherwise it is confusing. This is what I wanted to post.

[quote]Kent Gardens in McLean is the French Immersion one.
And the curriculum will be way below the level of someone who already speaks French. We have friends whose children attend the school, and in 4th grade and 6th grade, they can't carry on a conversation in French. The same is not true of kids who go to WIS and Rochambeau. 
I'd recommend those over the public immersion schools if you want a true bilingual French program[/quote]

OP here. My son speaks French as good as a mother tongue, he plays in French and lives in French (as well as English)
So if he went to a public immersion school, it is likely that his level of French would gradually be worse or stay the same, rather than get better, because many/most of the kids are English-speaking and would not have so much French in his play and life in general. Do you think this is correct?

Thank you to all of you, I have got in touch with the schools you all mentioned and am following up with them. So much work! [/quote]
