[quote=Anonymous]Looking forward to discussion about the international focus of the revitalized Roosevelt.

Here's the Washington Post article on today's announcement:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dcs-roosevelt-high-to-become-international-themed-school/2014/05/14/cff607fa-db99-11e3-b745-87d39690c5c0_story.html

This, from the article, really appeals to me as a Powell parent.

[quote]Elementary schools that offer dual-language instruction are routinely among the city’s most sought-after academic options. Several dual-language charter schools have banded together to create a new secondary school, D.C. International, that will open in the fall, but the traditional school system has not until now offered a way for students to continue their language studies through 12th grade.

Henderson said detailed plans for the school will be worked out in conjunction with the community, but programming will range from career training to college prep and could include dual-language instruction, international travel, vocational education in areas such as international business and finance, and international culinary arts.[/quote]

DCPS has been adding all these dual language programs, so it only makes sense that they beef up the offering through grade 12.  [/quote]
