Hearst.

8 more days! We know MV won't happen and that's fine. We're IB Hearst and liked the look and feel of the school on the two tours we took. The kids and teachers seemed engaged, the construction looks like it will create a nice space, and walking to school will be nice. My only concern: the lack of a gym and how PE will handled on rainy/snowy days.[/quote]

Current Hearst family here.  I can attest that walking to school is great! Once the new space is finished, the kids will use the multi-purpose space for indoor gym.  For now, the PE teacher does an awesome job with indoor recess.

Good luck with Mundo Verde, but if you don't get in, welcome to Hearst![/quote]

Thanks. Secretly I'm hoping only for Hearst but DH really wants Spanish. It's a win-win, obviously for us, but I really want the neighborhood school! And thanks for the good words about PE. DC is coming from a preschool with awesome facilities and is used to moving a lot. [/quote]

If it helps at all, Hearst will have a full-time Spanish teacher starting next year, and we also have an afterschool Spanish class. My kid came from a bilingual daycare so Spanish is important to me too.  Of course it's not as good as being in an immersion school, but it's something![/quote]
