[quote=Anonymous]If you are worried about ES, I would look for schools with Language Immersion programs in FCPS. They start in K or 1 and the parents choose to enroll their kids in the program. the LI programs tend to require that parents are supportive of some homework at home, namely learning the alphabet for the new language and some math to help supplement math at home. Math and Science are taught in the target language meaning that there are reports of kids who might struggle a bit with math because they are learning a language and math. A child who might need to work a little bit to be on grade level in math is going to need to work a little harder in the LI program.

So if you like a house that feeds into Dogwood but you are worried about the school, you would apply for LI at Fox Mill (Japanese and very close by) or Lake Anne (Spanish, starts in K). Fox Mill tends not to have much of a wait list and most people on the wait list make it into the program.

Spanish and French programs tend to have far longer wait lists and are harder to get into. [/quote]
