[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc bilingual teaches half the subjects in English and half in Spanish. So science was Spanish, math was English. I can't remember the rest. Does MV do a split like that?

Other differences to consider from what I remember from tours:

MV has a strong environmental focus
Mv is expeditionary learning

Dc bilingual seems to have an awesome nutrition program from the tour and a no junk food policy [b](why aren't more schools like that?)[/b]

Does anyone remember what DC bilingual uses for curriculum or learning philosophy?

I think many schools are like that, Mundo Verde is, Creative Minds has a whole nutrition and wellness policy (you can read their "snack policy" on their website).

Not PP, and I agree that some schools have a focus on this--but no one comes close to what DC Bilingual does, based on the open house I went to. DC Bilingual has a full-time nutritionist on staff that meets with families to do meal-planning. They cook all their meals in-house. It is such an integral part of their mission that you meet with her during the open house. It seemed really different at DCB than at other schools I went to, including Stokes, CM, and MV. [/quote]
