[quote=Anonymous]I’m from a feeder and went to the Latin main campus open house.  FWIW, the question was asked if Latin has many families coming from immersion charters (DCI feeders) and admin says no they don’t.

The school is old, run down, and an odd layout like they threw some add ons without thinking of the flow.  It’s night and day compared to facilities at DCI which feels like a college campus.

I also found leadership to be full of themselves and pompous.  The presentation wasn’t much substance at all, mostly videos of staff praising the school. A number of families asked some good questions after and the answers were BS fluff responses without answering the question.  No coverage of what a classical curriculum entailed except they talked about requiring Latin.  So someone after the presentation actually asked this question and a fluff general response with no substance.  Maybe they don’t need to try hard but we were not impressed at all.

We went to the open house at DCI and the presentation of great, covered a lot about IB curriculum, course offerings, tracks and options in addition to extracurricular, clubs, etc…. The principal did the presentation and we personally asked a few questions one on one after and wow, were we impressed by character and he gave thoughtful, direct, honest answers of substance.
