[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got one in MS Spanish Immersion and one in HS Spanish Immersion. They’ve had great experiences. The only negative I can think of is that you don’t have as many choices for courses as your peers. It’s worked out well for both of my kids.

Not OP but I'd love to hear more about this.  Like do kids not have room for fun (and very worthwhile classes) like band and art, or do they not have room for AP classes?  If the later, does anyone know how college admissions boards view this?  I read somewhere that its important to take the most rigorous classes your school offers.  Do immersion classes count?  I could see an argument for yes but not sure who to ask.  Thanks for any insights.

FWIW the one family I know who had 3 kids go through immersion ES through HS loved it and thought it was a really rigorous program with solid requirements and extra projects for graduation. Their youngest child probably graduated about 3 years ago, but they had nothing but good to say about the experience. A bonus in their mind was that the program provided a nice cohesive peer group throughout K-12.  As much as people move in and out of Arlington, and the feeder structure is bonkers, this sounds like a nice thing to me.  [/quote]
