[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad we chose Oyster and have stayed for jr. high. We're planning to move to MoCo next year, hoping to crack Richard Montgomery IBDP (probably the strongest pu;lic IBDP in the US).

Sorry folks, you can't do language immersion well wi/out native speakers in class (unless you have them at home). And you can't blow IB Diploma exams out of the water wthout doing language immersion right. higher level IB exams are a whole lot harder than AP on DCUM. This mirrors my own experience as a teenager in suburban NJ. I remember being stunned when I got a 4 of 7 on IBD Spanish at my private school after scoring 5 on AP Spanish. I expect my kids to beat me "hands down" as the objecting poster likes to say. Call me a witch, too. Problem is, I'm right babe.

That's so funny!  So, all those Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Finnish students who learn English one-way and then blow us out of the water on international exams aren't speaking English after all?

See, I never would have known that.  I could have sworn they were in our top universities and kicking our asses.  Maybe they were just avoiding the university of suburban NJ where you went to school?[/quote]
