[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Two kids at Wakefield who have gone through Immersion (Claremont-Gunston-Wakefield). Has been a great experience and they've both commented about how grateful they are to have had the opportunity. The challenge of two languages was definitely a benefit at earlier grades. TBH I did not love Gunston (it is our "home" MS), but being in the immersion cohort, both academically and socially, made it work. I strongly agree with the comment about the cohesive peer group being a benefit. About half of the kids we know zones for other HS didn't continue for myriad reasons (sports, religious obligations, etc.) but they've stayed close with their friends from ES/MS. Would definitely do it again. I do know a few families who have started their kids in immersion but later discovered learning challenges (particularly around reading) that led them to decide to leave the immersion program. Good luck![/quote]
