[quote=Anonymous]I strongly recommend visiting both College Gardens and Potomac, and talking to both ethnic and non-ethnic parents involved in the immersion programs, particularly PTA parents.  We did that, after feeling alienated by the set-up at Yu Ying as a bilingual immigrant family (no ethnic or native speaking admins, hardly any bilingual kids etc.).  Both of the MoCo programs seem to have more native speakers in the upper grades than lower, because MD allows native speakers (including Cantonese speakers) to test in to replace drop-outs while DC Charter does not.  Even if you don't speak Mandarin, you'll quickly get a feel for how much more serious the MoCo programs are than YY about almost everything but the social aspect of the immersion education - math, English, Mandarin.  We ultimately decided to stay in DC to work on Chinese at home with relatives, au pairs and wonderful weekend MoCo heritage language classes in our corner.   Tough decision but not one we regret.
