+1.  Also IMO DCI much better option.  It’s more established, IB curriculum and IB diploma a plus, and much better facilities, sports, extracurriculars.

Also the language is not the same at all.  Copper is very limited in language offerings and your kid will start language 101 from the beginning which is a huge waste of time if they even offer the same language.

DCI tracks and offers advance language instruction.  Also my understanding is that if your kid is in the highest language track, about 1/2 their courses can be taught in the language.  Now if your kid is in the lower language track, that would not be the case.[/quote]

If language is at all important to you, the PP's clarification is important.  It is even more than taking multiple classes in the target language.  It is a core feature of the school, so it is a different mindset about languages.  Not everyone believes they place enough emphasis on the languages for an immersion school.  But it is still a different mindset about the importance of language to the school academic profile.  Both of my DC have been able to add an additional language class beyond their Spanish track as well.  [/quote]
