MV chooses to do so; YY chooses not to. Each charter can choose.


Oops, that should read LAMB, not YU (though applies to YY too)

It's part of their charter, and due to the Montessori. Kids need to start young.


MV may decide to cut off later entrants at some point, but not while they are still growing.


It's not a decision that MV can make. It would require charter amendment.


It would never be approved. LAMB' exemption wouldn't be approved if they were to open today. They are grandfathered. Other, newer montessoris would not be able to get approved now either.

Yu Ying only takes new students up to 2nd grade so no new students/lottery spaces in grades 3, 4 and 5.

Wow. I kind of hate you Congrats on that option!


Thanks. I know I am insanely lucky. But it's also a really, really hard choice to make.


Is commute a factor?


Nope. Both about two miles away, in opposite directions.


If commute isn't a factor and you do not have a language preference then pick the easier language to support for your family.


Says someone that is on WL for MV


Lol! I have a kid at YY in a "closed" upper grade.


What is a "closed" upper grade?
