[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone moving to MV8 instead of commuting to Kingsbury? We’re considering that move, but not sure.[/quote]

You are lucky to have this option.  Many families would make the move if it was an option.[/quote]

We had this option but turned it down, mainly because a lot of MV families were also unhappy particularly around the admin's opening of this new campus, plus a lot of discussion about no DCI guarantee.

Now that MV8 seems to be doing well we have re applied but have not gotten in, though unsure we would accept spot.

What you would be giving up is Montessori. A lot of people seem to forget that LAMB is not only about the Spanish, but a type of education which is markedly different from what you would find at MV. There are also rumors of MV8 moving too. It has no playground.

You know that LAMB doesn't have DCI guarantee anymore, right? Neither Stokes, DCB, or MV.[/quote]

LAMB and all the members of the consortium have the same guarantee as they've had all along. 50 seats at DCI are reserved for LAMB "graduates;" for 20-21, LAMB is graduating about 40 kids. The next two years worth of LAMB graduates (i.e., current 3d and 4th graders) should all be able to secure a seat at DCI. For today's 2d graders and younger: If all stay at LAMB and if DCI does not add seats, there will be lottery for the 50 LAMB seats and the excess will still have preference over kids not from a consortium member.

Currently, there are 40 seats at DCI reserved for Stokes graduates; 50 for DCB; and 70 for MV.[/quote]
