[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is entering K next year. We really like our zoned school. We are intrigued by the immersion opportunities, though. Neither DH nor I speak a second language, and I think we both consider this to be a disadvantage.

I guess I have two questions for those of you with children who are/were in full immersion programs:

1) Do you think it's worth giving up being at school with neighborhood kids, and fostering those friendships, to do immersion?

2) Have you seen any negative impact on English-language skills from the full immersion program?

(I realize this is all predicated on getting a spot and that nothing is assured.)

Thanks for your time![/quote]
The year we applied to the MCPS Mandarin Immersion program, I believe there were over 700 applications for 1 Kindergarten class (26 spots?). My son wasn't accepted but statistically, we expected it.

You might want to look into private options like the French International School in Bethesda or the German International school. I believe it's near Potomac [/quote]
