[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sela needs to poof be gone. So tired of their bullshit.[/quote]

Why is SELA struggling so hard?  We were thrilled to learn about their opening, and I've had them on my list each year -- but far down due to commute issues.

I'm surprised that there's so little enthusiasm for them, though I confess I'm a relative newcomer to DCUrbanMom, so maybe I missed some epic thread or something.

Still, I'm rooting for them![/quote]

1. Low demand for Hebrew compared to Spanish, French, or Mandarin.
2. Inconvenient location--not very close to a metro or to that many families
3. They didn't offer PK3 for the past few years, so families often started school someplace else and didn't want to switch
4. No apparent feeder pattern--not like schools that feed to DCI or Wilson, or offer their own middle/high schools.
5. Turnover among teachers and administrators

with that said, I hope it succeeds. We do not live close to Sela but if we moved to a larger home, it would likely be near there. We would like a kid to learn Hebrew. Although we live in a neighborhood with guaranteed PK for IB residents, we'll definitely be checking Sela out and considering how to rank it.[/quote]
