[quote=Anonymous]Another German/English bilingual family here. We had our kids in a German school in another large US city, also based on the curriculum of Thuringia, following the same model. The English-only kids have to start in K, but they never reach the level of the German-native kids. Also many families (our included) end up leaving around middle school because of the limitations of being a tiny school. As families move away, they cannot fill the slots unless the incoming student is fluent in German. This results in situations where there are 10 kids or less in an entire grade. Our kids wanted other school where they could have a variety of experiences and electives even in middle school, sports teams, clubs, etc. It became too insular.[/quote]
