[quote=Anonymous]Chinese. Talk to DCI families whose kids are strong students (not just on the Chinese track).The IB Diploma for all system at DCI definitely isn't designed to challenge the most able students, other than perhaps for math (DCI does track for math now). But the school isn't bad, you just have to find more challenge for your kids outside school if they can work above grade level. I'd wager that's true for every DC public MS other than BASIS (where language instruction isn't a strong suit). No secret that there are DCI families quietly hiring writing tutors, using weekend language programs in the burbs, and sending their kids to Concordia immersion camps in Minnesota in the summers. What else can you expect when DCI doesn't track for humanities and there really aren't families enrolling their children who mainly speak Chinese or French at home? We don't know any.[/quote]
