Isn't B---S promising a parallel Spanish program for extant bilinguals with more vigor than Middlebury? [/quote]

I realize that you're being sarcastic, but I did hear statements early on from BASIS that seemed to intimate this. Later, I found out that the program for bilinguals or advanced language students will actually be an add-on early morning program, separate from the main curriculum. (And it costs $ to participate.) So I don't think of BASIS as being an ideal current option for kids whose parents want advanced-level second or third languages to be a full part of the curriculum. Maybe this will change later. (Why do we need 2 charter middle schools with a focus on Latin?)

Is SWW an option for bilingual/trilingual kids so that they can take college level language courses at GW? [/quote]
Actually, the classes are for 5th and 6th graders, because they are required to take Latin. &th grade and up the students will be able to take Latin, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and German. The morning classes are for bilingual children, and children that are coming from immersion schools.[/quote]
