[quote=Anonymous]Lots of claims on this thread from folks who clearly have no connection to the school or anyone who has kids there.

We are at Sela, and have been very happy.  Our kid loves school, made good friends, and is learning/thriving.  So far (and we're still in PK years), it's clear she is getting as good an experience as she could get anywhere else.

We love the school precisely because there is a mix of kids from different backgrounds.  There are many non-Jewish, non-UMC students who appear to love the school.  There are also several Jewish, UMC students who love the school, including some that like that their kid is learning Hebrew outside of a religious context and with kids from different backgrounds.  And both the Jews and non-Jews come from all over, including Petworth, Bloomingdale, Truxton Circle, Takoma, and NE.

The school is less popular because many aren't interested in their kid learning Hebrew, but enough clearly are (and not just Jews).  It is also a terrible reverse commute for many, and harder to access from public transportation.  But it's a school that is doing a great job for the kids there, and definitely worth a look if you can make the commute work and are open or interested in your kid learning Hebrew.  While it will likely never be as popular as the more centrally located Spanish immersion schools, it definitely is growing in popularity and I anticipate will continue to do so over time.
