[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College Gardens ends in 5th, right?[/quote]

NP, College Gardens feeds to Herbert Hoover MS in Potomac for partial immersion Chinese. Many of the HH Chinese track students go on to the Richard Montgomery IB Diploma program in Rockville, which admits no more than 10% (100 of more than 1000) applicants for 9th grade.  Chinese immersion track students are in demand in the RM IBD program.  YY families who move to MoCo can try to test into College Gardens and Herbert Hoover.  But kids really have to be able to speak Mandarin decently for their ages to make the grade.

Take a look at College Gardens, Herbert Hoover, and Yu Ying on a map. And then think about how off topic this post is in relation to OP's questions about Yu Ying. Seek justification for your life choices somewhere else. [/quote]

Wish you were right. Problem is, the College Gardens, Potomac and Herbert Hoover programs have figured out how to ensure that almost all their students can speak decent Chinese by the upper grades; YY and DCI have not.

As a YY parent, it's worth going to an open house for Mandarin immersion in MoCo.  You can learn about how to supplement in ways you may not have thought of, like enrolling in Concordia summer camps, taking opportunities to interact with native-speaking peers, volunteer programs run by local NGOs where Mandarin-speaking kids visit elderly Chinese speakers in public housing etc.  [/quote]
