[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! Has anyone here left an immersion program for CES? Our kid has been invited to Oak View but is currently in immersion. We’d hate to leave immersion, but we’ve been very underwhelmed by the enrichment provided by his teachers and by the school administration. Our kid consistently tests at 98-99th percentile and [b]has really lost his enthusiasm for school this year. [/b] We attended the Oak View visit night and were really impressed. Appreciate any thoughts![/quote]

Because of that sentence/observation I would choose CES. A second language is great but not at the expense of enthusiasm for learning and for the place he spends 6+ hours per day.[/quote]

Agree with this--we were on the fence about CES just because of logistics, but we attended the open house this week, and DC's excitement is what convinced us to make it work. Seeing my kid grinning and nodding when hearing about reading 10+ novels for literature circles and lighting up when the teacher presenter mentioned the projects for Greek myths... that kind of enthusiasm is priceless. If your kid had that same enthusiasm for learning a second language, I would stay with immersion, but it doesn't sound like it. I know leaving such a prized spot in an immersion program seems crazy when so many people are hard-pressed to get one, but in your case it sounds like CES is the better fit.[/quote]
