[quote=Anonymous]We speak Spanish at home but we are predominantly an English speaking household and didn't have confidence that our kid could apply as a Spanish speaker. So we applied as an English speaker. We were also in the same boat - we were moving from DC to Arlington (specifically for the Spanish immersion program!). We were put on the waitlist but it moved very fast - we got a relatively low number and were in almost immediately. I was very stressed about it after our PK experiences in DC where waitlists never moved, but that just didn't play out in this circumstance. I believe you can get historical waitlist numbers online somewhere - if I recall, nearly everyone who wants an immersion spot has historically received one. But that may have changed in the last year or two, so I'd recommend confirming that data.

We moved during COVID and were not required to provide an Arlington address and could apply to either Claremont or Key; we did need to pick the school we preferred and then find a house in that school's zone. I did see that this year they say if you don't have an Arlington address yet, you have to apply to Key.

We have loved our experience so far (still early elementary) and fully recommend the Spanish program to everyone who asks.[/quote]
