[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there will also be different diplomas available, of which the IB diploma is one. Perhaps the other diplomas will have less rigorous language criteria.[/quote]

Also from PCSB documents:

"Students will experience DCI as a single school, comprised of students associated (and officially
enrolled) in each of the Member Schools, and [b]including foreign language programs tailored to the
needs of students continuing from each Member School as well as the needs of students beginning a
new language in middle school or high school[/b]. As such, students educated at DCI will benefit from
the rigorous, inquiry-based, transdisciplinary international education that is the hallmark of the IB
Middle Years and Diploma Programmes while being offered advanced language education in English,
French, Chinese and Spanish."

"...students from all of the “Member Schools”, will have the opportunity to study
advanced Spanish (or French or Chinese), another language and follow the inquiry-based
International Baccalaureate curriculum through the globally recognized IB Diploma program. With
[b]proficiency [/b]in one or more languages and an IB Diploma, these DC public school children will
graduate positioned for success in postsecondary education, their careers, and as significant
contributors to their communities here in the District of Columbia, and throughout the world."

I was "proficient" in french with no prior exposure before high school.  All students are expected to be proficient, not all will be advanced in 2 or more languages or earn the IB diploma.[/quote]
