OP - You are making the right choice with the most options for your DS.  If  you lived in a DC area with a good neighborhood school, it would be entirely different.  It makes the most sense to keep going with the services in place in school division as well as the private therapies.  Keeping these going is definitely key to having your young son continue to progress.  He will also have the benefit of the language immersion program.  In three or four  years time you will have a much clearer idea of how your son is doing across the board including academically, and perhaps an even broader range of very good private schools to consider if the charter school should not remain a strong program or the right fit for him.  Front-loading the therapies really is key for many young children AND especially if you like the therapists you are working with.   Also once he gets into school should you go to a private school setting, you could consider putting some enrichment opportunities with say a native language speaker sitter, a tutor , or language classes.

It does not sound like OP is choosing between an immersion language charter and private.  That was the pp above your post, me, with a much older child who has been at one since prek4.

BTW, we would not have stayed at our immersion charter if it turned out that DS has LDs or academic issues since it is a language we don't know and cannot support at home.  DS's strengths are in language/math/academics so the school is a good fit as it turns out.  DS needs social communication supports which his school provides in the IEP.

OP's child is young so it's hard to tell which school will work better but the charter (by law) will be better at dealing with any SN issues that may come up.
