[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are exactly right. No one else gets in without the unanimous consent of the member schools. Sela and any new immersion schools will have to prove themselves in order to be considered, along with capacity, attrition, etc. No one gets in after 9th grade.[/quote]

To an outside observer, Sela looks like a good fit.  Apparently they've worked with Yu Ying similarly to the way Mundo Verde did before their opening, even down to charter application assistance.  Sela is hosting a discussion of immersion education for the public, and representatives from all the feeder schools will also be participating.  There appears to be a working relationship.  Who knows, since Sela has room in their big new facility, maybe they can offer the DCI some swing space?  That would certainly make them an attractive partner with something to bring to the table.

It's true that Sela has worked closely with YY on design and starting their new school.  But as a parent at a current feeder school I definitely hope the criteria that is weighed is much more complex than design of the school.  What language is feeding should be a major onside ration, and while I have no objection to Hebrew at DCI, it would not at all be a priority language for inclusion in my book.  I'd want to see more French, an Arabic school, even Amharic way before Hebrew.  It's about the languages usage outside of school settings in both the DC population and in world populations and business.

Re: the feeder schools keeping separate space at DCI, what is the source for that info??  Everything I've heard has DCI as one middle school and one high school.  Not separate programs or separate space.  What is the source that says there will be separation?[/quote]
