[quote=Anonymous][i]Charters May Merge at Walter Reed [Washington Yu Ying, LAMB, Mundo Verde, and Elsie Whitlow Stokes PCS are mentioned]
The Dupont Current
By Elizabeth Wiener

The halls of a 1933 nurses’ residence at Walter Reed could one day ring with the sound of teenagers speaking Chinese, Spanish, French — and English — under a still unfolding proposal for a languagebased charter school at the former Army hospital campus in Ward 4. 
 
Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School, with its Chinese immersion program, has already won conditional approval to place a middle and high school in 100,000 square feet of the old Delano Hall at the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center. And the Latin American Montessori Bilingual charter school, which teaches children in Spanish and English, has dibs on 35,000 square feet in the same building. 
 
The two are in discussion with two other language immersion charters — Mundo Verde Bilingual, which offers Spanish and English instruction near Dupont Circle; and the Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom School in Brookland, which has an English/French and English/Spanish program — about the four institutions forming a cooperative middle and high school that could eventually enroll about 1,000 students at Walter Reed.
