[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks.  We'll be moving to Bethesda/Chevy Chase; I understand that we would therefore be eligible for Sligo.

An additional question:  it looks like we won't be able to apply for the 2013-2014 year (my son's K year) as our move date will be too late.  We would then try for the 2014-15 year (my son's 1st grade).  If we make sure our son continues practicing French (he is going to French preschool now), from a logistical point of view, is it harder to get into 1s grade than in K (or preK for that matter)?  Are there just few openings after K (or preK)?  My guess is that, on the one hand, many preK or K kids continue in the program, thus leaving relatively few spots, but, on the other hand, because [b]French knowledge would be expected in 1st grade or above[/b], an applicant to these later years with good French knowledge would actually hae a greater likelihood of being selected.  Is this so?[/quote]

You can try via lottery for first grade (by submitting the application during your son's kindergarten year) but no French knowledge is required for first-graders.  I believe that up to about January of first grade, no French language is required, whereas after that, any applicants have to pass a French-language test (mostly spoken I think).[/quote]
