[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am another IT parent. I thought language immersion was my highest priority. We didn't get into of the most well-regarded immersion programs though -- competition is tough as folks upthread say.

So we went to IT because we were impressed at the info sessions (and by the Center's reputation). You know what? My priorities have shifted over the course of the year. I realized how important a school's education philosophy is--and I like IT's.

However, if language is your top priority, check out Powell, Marie Reed, Bethune, etc. These schools are easier to get into than the immersion schools mentioned upthread.

So we did the afterschool Spanish program and books and such at home. And we're happy they're doing the parent survey on what language folks would like to see the school offer. The school is adding specials bit by bit. It has an arts integration approach, too, of course, but started the year without specials. Now we have Dance & Movement and Art as specials. I'm hopeful language will be added next year or the year after at the latest.[/quote]

+1000 this was perfectly put.[/quote]
