[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a nearby neighborhood & my daughter goes to Sela PCS...it's a Hebrew language immersion charter school in it's second year.  We have no connections to Judaism in our family, but the school is not religious...just cultural.  Within the first couple weeks of school my daughter was already singing in Hebrew & counting to ten (PreK-4), and her knowledge continues to grow tenfold each month!!  The Hebrew language teachers are required to be native speakers, so it was cool...one of my husband's colleagues is from Israel, and when he spoke with my daughter, he said that she didn't have an American accent...that she sounded native, herself!  Whether Hebrew itself will be relevant for her in the coming years, I don't know...but I'm a firm believer that a second language stretches the brain, trains the ear to other accents & has positive impacts on math abilities.  So yeah - we're really happy with the school!  :)[/quote]

Someone happy with Petworth, AND a gentile family happy with Sela! I win DCUM  bingo!

Would you happen to be considering Hardy for middle school? [/quote]
