[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not DC area.

My city has a handful of k-5 language immersion schools where all instruction is in a different language. They all feed into a single 6-12 language immersion high school/middle school. My daughter will start 5th grade next year at the language immersion elementary and most kids go onto the 6-12 immersion MS. But it's farrrrr from us and not entirely sure it's a good fit. Our "regular" neighborhood middle (and high school) are really good and we would be happy to have her go there. But it kind of feels like a waste to just stop immersion at 5th grade. Anyone BTDT?

Similar situation but I don't look at it as a waste to stop the language immersion at the end of elementary. Some is better than none. In our case, it was a heritage language. But DCs just didn't care about their father's heritage and have no interest in the language especially since their father only speaks English to them. They excel in other subjects and have other interests. If your kids ever rekindle their interest in the language, it will come back and it will be much easier for them to relearn than if they had never had any exposure at all.[/quote]
