I would not suggest WIS (and my kids attend WIS ) here is why: most kids attending camps are existing students already in the Immersion and "outside kids" get lost in it. Communikds is the opposite-more daycare setting-didn't love it when I visited.

I'm looking at both of these schools as well. My son is already fluent in Spanish, so do you think WIS is a better fit? Not sure if you mean "outside kids" are kids that don't speak the language or just in general?

Interesting. Would even the rising K campers already be in the program?

Pp here- just wanted to add we'll do full day plus aftercare, so would appreciate opinions on the whole shebang.
