[quote=Anonymous]Only one key difference between YY and the other language immersion schools. YY substitutes "community of people somewhat connected to the language and culture" (maybe 40% of parents) for "native-speaking community." At YY, it's enough to have adopted a child from China, or to have worked in a Chinese-speaking country, or to have studied Mandarin, to be considered part of the community with an inside track to the language and culture. The other schools look for a stronger connection to be on the track. If you don't mind that there's no local Chinese community behind the school, go for it. Not a bad school, you just want to go in with your eyes open, wherever you're coming from... [/quote]
