[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP We are in Northern Virginia. Not Fairfax where they have a public immersion. We are in private but it not great either. Is GISW really so awful? Do the kids get out not having learned anything, as these posts seem to say?[/quote] I doubt it's so awful. Your kid is a non native speaker, so ignore the statements saying that your kid will never reach native level. That's probably true and ok. The real issue is whether you kid will get what he needs in math, science and English. The only way to find out is to try. By being vigilant with what is taught, you'll know what your child is getting vs what would be taught in your local school. Make sure the math is where it needs to be, read lots of English books at home and write letters in English to grandma. Your kid will thank you later when he speaks a foreign language that is very much in demand and spoken by very few Americans.[/quote]
