[quote=Anonymous]I would like to return to the original issue and bring up a point that I read on the website, which is plans to include arabic at some point in the school (I suspect as a third language, not as an immersion choice). I think this would be great.

as for all the hoopla about Sela, I don't get it. I kind of agree that Hebrew is an somewhat odd choice, but why not?  If the school were somehow simply manipulating the charter structure and using public funds to provide Hebrew education to Jewish students who otherwise would have to pay for it, I could see that as an issue. But given the state of schools in DC, if it is a good charter school, people will come, from all walks of life and religions.

Now, I still have lots of questions about the school itself. Went to the table at the expo, a little underwhelmed with the response to my question about their educational philosophy/curriculum (besides immersion). Interesting members of the board. My kid is too young for next year anyway, but I'll keep my eye on it.

Might be nice to start a thread on what language immersion school would you like to see? for me, Arabic and Korean....
