[quote=Anonymous]At Mt Vernon, dual language is currently opt-in, with enough dual language classes so that there is no waiting list (5-6 years ago, there was a lengthy waiting list for the spanish immersion side and the school was half dual language and half "traditional" English classrooms). There are supposed to be 7 dual lang kinder classes and 1 "traditional"' class for next year. Starting in 2014 - 15, the current principal would like to start to roll out an all dual language model, starting with the kinders who enter in 2014 and rolling up with them (so if a kid is in the traditional side, they would be grandfathered in until leaving the school in 5th grade, but new kinders would automatically be enrolled in dual language). Hope this helps. For what it is worth, I've had one kid in dual language and one kid in traditional and we've been pleased with both sides. The teachers are leading the charge to convert to all dual language.[/quote]
