[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What language is your child participating in? We were at Fox Mill with Japanese and no LLIV, it came later. We chose immersion over LIV because we thought early exposure to a language like Japanese was valuable and the school had a strong advanced math program. We also knew we could defer until he went to Carson for MS. That way he could complete 2 years of foreign language and participate in the AAP classes. At the time, Carson did not allow 2 years of any other language except for the Japanese Immersion kids.

If my kid was in Spanish or French we would have considered the move because those languages are more available at MS and HS.

We also asked our child for his thoughts. He might have been in 3rd grade but it is his education. If he didn’t seem to be getting much out of the Japanese or was having social issues and wanted to move we would have considered that. [/quote]

She's in Spanish. [/quote]

DS moved into AAP in MS after staying in LI with no issues. I would stay if her school offers Advanced Math and she is happy. The kids in LI programs tend to have involved parents and the classes can be closer to a LIV class as it is. The main area of acceleration is in math, so focus there. We would have considered moving more if he had been in Spanish or French but we really liked the Japanese and he was happy at the school. [/quote]
