Just wanted to get some advice and tips regarding school’s in the city my daughter is going to be getting into Kindergarten next September 2010 we live in New Brighton and we had her on a wait list at a chartered school but we she is probably not going to get in, we are not Catholic so we’re out of the running there and the public schools nearby such as Mackenzie Towne and Mackenzie Lake are not in our boundaries so that leaves us with Acadia Elementary (public) and Sam Livingstone (French Immersion – Public). I was wondering if anyone has put there kids in French Immersion right from the start and how has it gone? We’re a little worried that they do not do much English the first few years and speak and do just French. Any stories and tips are much appreciated. Thanks.
