[quote=Anonymous]We are at Claremont and we feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing opportunity through public school. To the community point above, it's def more convenient if you go to the neighborhood school, but we have found the families at Claremont to be so welcoming and a real desire to establish a strong community. Academically, our kid is just a couple years in, but I will say a few things 1) you definitely need to be committed to the idea of immersion. 2) our child is doing very well academically. I think he would be bored if he were in a non-immersion environment. His kindergarten teacher told us early on that he'd do well in immersion because the Spanish language would be his "stretch" zone - and she was right so far! 3) maybe we've just been lucky with teachers, but he is provided what seems to be a lot of differentiation in the classroom. 4) we're super impressed with the principal and her focus on social-emotional learning. bottom line is that we love Claremont so much - but if you're not into immersion, not much else matters![/quote]
