[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The consortiums are in large part smoke and mirrors to attract students to schools that are sub par to those in Bethesda/Potomac etc.  The W schools tend to have a lot more course offerings than the consortium schools.  For example, it is the standard for W schools to offer 5-6 foreign languages. In a consortium school, they tend to offer just a couple of languages but they differ depending on the school.  [/quote]

Our W school doesn’t offer 5-6 foreign languages.

Name any school that has 5-6 foreign languages and what those languages are. [/quote]
