[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who want to talk about DCI without talking about preparedness in target languages, and level or rigor in language classes, can't see the forest for the trees. Kids coming up through feeders are supposed to be well positioned to ace IB Diploma language exams to help them stand out in college admissions.  Language skills, especially in speaking and listening, are supposed to be one of their strong suits relative to the competition, after all those years in 50% of partial immersion! How lame that DCI probably won't even offer HL language classes.

If you want your kid to ace IBD math, middle school at BASIS would obviously be much better prep than the DCI experience.  If you want them to ace IB humanities, middle school at Wash Latin, Deal or a private would obviously be much better prep.

Sorry, but on what basis are you speculating no HL classes?    DCI is offering HL foreign language, not just SL.  Starting with next year's Diploma Program students (that starts in 11th).[/quote]
