[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for those in a non feeder who want to lottery in later - does that mean your kids are in an immersion program somewhere? Will it be language test-in?[/quote]

No immersion at DCI.

For students that lottery in, they start with beginner spanish/chinese/french (depending on which track they lotttery in to) or prove they belong at a more advanced level via a test. [/quote]

If DCI is not language immersion, why does it tout itself as a language immersion school all over its website?  Is that false?[/quote]

FAQ:

What education program/models will be featured at DCI?
The DCI will offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for grades 6-10, and offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for grades 11-12. Students will leave school having earned one or more of the following options: DCI Diploma, an IB Diploma, the International Baccalaureate Career Certification, course-specific IB certificates, and/or the IB Bilingual Diploma. The DCI will offer students the opportunity to continue their immersion experience by taking[b] up to[/b] 5[b]0 percent of classes in their target immersion language[/b] (Chinese, French, or Spanish).

Speaking of foreign language, do students have to continue in the same language per their elementary experience?
Yes. The purpose of the feeder pattern is for students to continue their language immersion journey towards adult bilingualism and biliteracy. Students are encouraged to add additional languages through beginning language classes. [b]Students who come to DCI without a language study background will have to commit to a language track which they will pursue throughout their time at DCI.[/b]
