[quote=Anonymous]CMI parent here. I wasn't thrilled with those numbers either, until I learned that they referred to less than 20 kids, many of whom have significant special needs. (The highest grade at CMI is small and has a number of kids who are SN.). We expect those numbers to go up next year. I don't understand the hate re exposing kids to two languages; this is common in European schools, and IPC is a British-based program. If you don't agree with it, don't send your kids there. My oldest loves Chinese and my youngest loves Spanish. They practice words with each other at the dinner table. They are excited to experience Chinese culture and ask for opportunities to do so. They enjoy practicing Spanish when they meet native Spanish speakers. It is wonderful. :) [/quote]
