[quote=Anonymous]Daughter is at Rochambeau (ES). It’s a French school located in the US, which means instruction is in French with a mostly French curriculum from 2 years old to 12th grade, except English and US History classes (maybe something else, but it is full immersion in French throughout) with some adaptations for local culture (such and language, US History). The academics are rigorous and the students are excellently prepared for college in the the US and abroad. We chose it (European family, not French) for the quality of the curriculum, the IB program, immersion, several languages taught (Spanish, German, Arabic, Latin…), teaching cursive (neurological benefits of practicing cursive, like integrating different types of information), also the network of French schools worldwide that provides for an easier academic continuity in case we move), the diversity of cultural backgrounds (which is common in DC anyway but maybe not as much in other cities if we move), I found it a very nice warm community. The new campus for ES is great (indoors and outdoors).

Can’t talk for WIS but there’s a lot on WIS in this forum. Just take all this information with a bit of a filter as this is an anonymous blog and some people have a particular agenda for or against private or public schools, or immersion, or a particular school, or a onetime bad experience, stereotypes etc…Tour the schools if you can, talk to families in the schools you are interested.

All the best with your decision process. [/quote]
