[quote=Anonymous]Our DC got in off the lottery at LAMB for PK...so it's possible. I applied just knowing we would not get a spot but what's 5 minutes?  Turns out it was 5 minutes well spent. OPs listed commute as a consideration when looking at schools and we are moving closer to the school to reduce our 1.5 hour commute each day. Getting up to LAMB is not a problem but commuting downtown after drop off with the rest of MD is. The nice thing is that it has it's own outdoor space, playground and it is close to several bus routes and its primary campus is where it will be for the foreseeable future. The other thing to note is that it is a Montessori school. This is very different from other bilinguals and the primary reason they do not admit new students after PK. It's a learning process you should know about and consider for your child because the learning materials are very different than a traditional class. We love it and have found it empowering for our child but we underestimated the adjustment.

We love LAMB enough to move closer to the school and the fact that it's a charter means we can live anywhere in the city (not forced into high cost living areas to be in bounds). LAMB is also part of the charter to create the DC International School with Yiu Ying and Mundo Verde (maybe Stokes?). So middle school and high school are longer term paths you can count on. I'm not sure where all the public bilingual schools feed into so you may need to research that.

Good luck![/quote]
