I believe by 2020 that HISD wants every school to have an immersion program, or something like that.

So, what does everybody think about Houston opening up an Arabic immersion school for fall of 2015? and did anyone apply?

Is anyone interested in a French immersion school? Has anyone expressed interested online to support having the school opened by HISD?

I've expressed interest in the French one, and plan on completing an application for the Mandarin school next year for my toddler son.

I recognize the benefits of multiple languages for the critical thinking skills it fosters in young children, and I used to not care which language, but given the growing instances of violence related to that part of the world... I just want to keep my kids away from that region/religion. I have plenty of muslim friends, and sympathize with the Palestinian cause, but I'll be honest enough to state I have concerns about indoctrination.
