[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great....so now there will be 6 schools closely located  (High Roads school right down the street, then Hope Community and Ideal Academy across from that, the Roots and a 10 minute walk to Cap City).  Just Great.[/quote]

I think there's a certain benefit to having several schools nearby, doesn't that mean the bus lines and local businesses will all be much more accustomed to having young people around.  Kids are always safer when there are adults looking out for them.

In any event, Congratulations to Sela.  That is no small feat getting a facility like that right out of the gate - actually designed for a school and getting to update and modernize it to suit themselves.  Well done.  I am very excited about the idea of this school and encouraged by how together their organization seems.

Now, I would really like it if they would make plans to join forces with the other Immersion charter schools and look at becoming part of the DCI at Walter Reed.  I think a stand-alone immersion school is going to present enormous hurdles by the time they hit the MS/HS years, due to the necessarily small sizes of the grades at that point.  Combining their resources with Yu Ying, LAMB, Stokes, and Mundo Verde, and bringing one more language option to the program seems like a big win for everyone.  I hope that gets thought out sooner than later.

Regardless, Kudos to Sela.[/quote]
