[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, there are always details that make every single school different from every other.  But my understanding of BCC is that it is *quite* different.  Biggest difference of all:  BCC is not a "language-focused school", in that advanced language courses are offered but not required.  Is every feeder school to BCC an immersion school?  My understanding is no.

I'm sure BCC is an excellent school, and there is no such thing as "too many" great models of education.  But you either don't understand or know the details of DCI's foci and model, or it's overly important to you not to give the innovative model the credit it deserves for being unique.  And it IS unique, in several ways.

Whether DCI delivers on its great vision or not clearly remains to be seen.  But it's very inaccurate to propose that the differences in structure and foci between DCI and BCC are somehow trivial.[/quote]

But, it sounds like BCC has the advantage of excellent course offerings across the board, as opposed to a hyper-focus on language. Just pointing that out. Sounds like you could graduate from BCC with 2 foreign languages, an IB diploma, and still play competitive sports or take challenging math or science classes. The rest remains to be seen with DCI, but I bet it will be a great option no matter how it directly compares to a school like BCC.[/quote]
