[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a welcome development for many families. What about children who have become bilingual/biliterate through home life, living abroad, or schools other than the 4 mentioned, e.g., Oyster or WIS? Seems that as long as they are DC residents and can prove their language capabilities, they should have an equal shot at admission.[/quote] Don't worry-- they will through a lottery as there will be attrition from the 4 feeder schools. The question will be if the charter law will be amended to allow for testing for new students but may not be necessary because DCI will not be a immersion program so new students wouldn't necessarily have to be fluent to do an IB program.[/quote] exactly. no language testing. but kids from the feeder schools will get first priority and then a finite amount of slots will be opened for lottery.[/quote]
