[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a point of comparison between ATS and the immersion schools? We like the idea of strong academics and diversity. We are also interested in our child speaking Spanish. Wondering how the communities at those schools differ[/quote]

You should have a sense of what people think about ATS and its community from this thread.  You might consider posing your immersion question as a new thread.

I was not an ATS parent; but every ATS parent I knew confirmed the pressure the PTA puts on them to, not just show up, but take on a committee role or take responsibility for something.  A number of parents I knew learned quickly which roles to sign up for early so they wouldn't be hounded about signing up for something the rest of the year.

You'll hear a lot more Spanish in the immersion program, obviously.  So there will be more Hispanic "culture" inherent within the community and school activities.

Both programs offer a strong education....immersion can continue through high school.[/quote]

LOL "every ATS parent I know." You must only know white parents. The rest of us don't give a crap about the PTA, play dates etc.[/quote]
