[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah also lamb takes about 4 kindergartners a year so there’s that. [/quote]

Yeah but pandemic lottery could be different, or this could be someone currently at LAMB who lives IB for Bancroft and who (wisely) applied to WIS for the fall as a back up. [/quote]

Assume this is the situation.  In which case, go to WIS now, and move to OA later if you want (if you can afford to send a kid to WIS while living in bounds for Bancroft, then you can afford to move to OA).[/quote]

OA is only immersion through elementary school. LAMB/DCI and WIS have dual language through 12th. OA isn’t a good fit if OP wants their kid to have an opportunity to be fluent in a second language.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  OA is full immersion in PK and K.  It’s dual immersion (including aftercare) from 1st through 8th.  Students also have an opportunity to learn a 3rd language (Mandarin) from 4th through 8th grade.  In addition, there are trips to Costa Rica, China, and an exchange program with a school in Spain in middle school.  Every OA lifer that I’ve ever met has been both bilingual and biliterate by 8th grade.[/quote]

+1. PP doesn’t know what they are talking about.

OP of those choices I would pick Bancroft. LAMB has very few native speakers, which is personally important to me as a native speaker, and benefits non native speakers. [/quote]

LAMB parent here. I'm having trouble thinking of a single teacher at LAMB who isn't a native speaker.[/quote]
