+1.  Also IMO DCI much better option.  It’s more established, IB curriculum and IB diploma a plus, and much better facilities, sports, extracurriculars.

Also the language is not the same at all.  Copper is very limited in language offerings and your kid will start language 101 from the beginning which is a huge waste of time if they even offer the same language.

DCI tracks and offers advance language instruction.  Also my understanding is that if your kid is in the highest language track, about 1/2 their courses can be taught in the language.  Now if your kid is in the lower language track, that would not be the case.[/quote]

At DCI they can get Spanish, social studies, and an elective like art in Spanish afaik. Not quite half the classes. If on the higher language track they can request to add an additional language in 7th.

Prior to COVID I would have chosen Latin. Post-pandemic lockdowns, Latin has moved more onto computers than before. Their lower tech focus had been a selling point for me but now I'm not sure the difference is that big.

From anecdotal conversations, my friend with kids at DCI found the school better than they had expected. And friends at Latin (original campus) found the school a little worse than they had expected. [/quote]
