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]

Isn't B---S promising a parallel Spanish program for extant bilinguals with more vigor than Middlebury? And what about the budding Hebrew speakers from the latest niche charter? Those kids might be pretty international. ;)

Seriously though, high school level language/international school makes sense for our bi-literate multinational family. Wilson selective academy and $30K for WIS seem like the only DC options beyond 8th at Oyster-Adams, Stokes, YY.

But does charter law allow for "cooperative" schools? Wouldn't they need a whole new charter for each school to somehow feed or link to a high school?[/quote]

Yes, they would have to petition the charter board as a group--there are legal issues involved.  [/quote]
