This statement isn't even possible. The school has only existed for 3 years. So if the student left last year they would have only been at the school for 2 years. Of course - a child who was only in the school in Pre-K and K would lose the language quickly. I don't think the arguments have been to only have your child in an immersion school for PreK and K and think that they will be able to maintain the language. I do think that if they stay through 4th or 5th and start in PreK that they will have a better shot - assuming that the parents will provide significant tutoring and immersion opportunities. The fact that parents leave schools around 4th and 5th grade for private schools is nothing new. This has been happening for years and will continue to happen - even for YY students. [/quote]
