[quote=Anonymous]My kid in french immersion at Sligo Creek took math at 2 years above grade level and then went on to the TPMS magnet. In 5th grade DC had to walk over with some other accelerated kids to the middle school next door - I wonder if this proximity to a middle school is why Sligo can offer math acceleration and some other schools can't. Also, DC was reading chapter books in kindergarten, and we found the combination of reading advanced english-language books outside school plus the new challenge of immersion worked well for DC. We know some families who left immersion for the HGCs, and other families who found the immersion program provided, if not acceleration, then a different type of learning. We're in the latter category. We don't see acceleration as an end to itself, instead it's the depth and range, including other exposure to other languages, that appeals to us.[/quote]
