[quote=Anonymous]This is such a DCUM question/attitude. Only wanting your child to do something if it gives them a competitive advantage. Of course it is a highly competitive program and a great honor to be selected. It also offers a tremendous opportunity to focus in-depth with other students who are presumably passionate about whatever discipline. In the case of the foreign language academies, it offers an immersion opportunity that not many can manage prior to a college study abroad experience. Anecdotally, although dated, I can add that I attended one of the foreign language academies some years ago and learned that at least 20 of the 60 students ended up with me at UVA. Admittedly things could be different now but I have to believe that VA state schools look positively on students who were selected for these programs and want to keep them in state to see further return on their investment.
