Do they teach the whole child here? Is the learning project based Montessori Reggio while also experiential?


And is it green? Play-based?

Because it is incredibly unlikely the school will be good at teaching more than one language? Public resources are limited? any more thoughts?

The real question might be, Why not multiple languages? Giving families the opportunity to choose a language that they enjoy and is a critical needs language to the U.S. sounds like a school that is innovative and trying to meet the needs of future leaders. It is also great for the students to be able to learn from others that are learning a different language and culture.
