[quote=Anonymous]I would add that what WIS develops is not just a proficiency in a language, but more to its original mission, a perspective on the world that is developed over years of a child having to learn to think and communicate in two languages with equal respect to both. Its one thing to "speak French" its another to learn human anatomy in French or African history in taught in French, or to learn to write poetry in French as you are studying poetry in lit class. In this way, WIS[i] teaches[/i] is not the correct word, they develop a deep understanding in a child of the reality that there are other cultures, other peoples, other perspectives, not just "other languages". The kids attending also come from all over the world and so building those friendships affects a child's world view. Those friendships last a life time. Added to that is the PYP curriculuum which is very inquiry based. It is work though.[/quote]
