[quote=Anonymous]There are so many unknowns in the scenarios you described.

1) the move can be delayed or can be now
2) it can be temporary or it can be permanent
3) move back in 2 years or whenever
4) if kid adapts, then no returning. If kid doesn't adapt, then have to return. And hoping that those kids from elementary school could provide some familiarity.

You're trying to see ahead what the best choice would be. But life cannot be so easily predicted.

I would caution thinking that kids who were friends in elementary school would continue to stay friends in middle school if you move and return 2 years later. That is absolutely not guaranteed. So if kid doesn't adapt, and have to return, you may find that your calculations that they could keep those friendships after some time away is based on false hopes.

Middle school is bigger and different than elementary school because it allows kids to take different classes. You don't take all your classes with the same kids like you would in elementary school.

As far as immersion, if the new school offers it, then go for it. If not, then find outside opportunities for them to help maintain their skills.
