[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school has always promised partial immersion. Electives and Social Studies classes are offered in target languages for those students with higher levels of proficiency. My DS took at least 3 classes per day in his target language and graduated with the IB Diploma and the Seal of Biliteracy. We have another child leaving the Middle School and going into High School.

What is really important to know, IMHO, is that the new ED is VERY removed from students, families, and faculty. He is also not a big cheerleader of the IB or Language. Very different from the founding ED. Mr. Nace,  the HS principal, is a gem and is the biggest draw for us to stay at DCI. He is truly the spirit of the school. Middle School has a new principal, and hopefully will improve a lot if the ED is more hands-on.

Overall, though, it's a great school because of the many long-term faculty and staff who believe in the model and advocate to protect it. [/quote]

We toured the school and then talked extensively with Mr. Nace and was very impressed with him overall. We asked a lot of hard questions and his answers were thoughtful and detailed.  BTW he stepped up and ran the middle school this year after principal left.

It’s amazing that he doesn’t let his disability, which he is very open,  about define him and his goals.  Says a lot about his character. [/quote]
