Has anyone gone to an immersion school?

10. I haven't, but I sent my son off to an immersion program

in Montreal for French when he was in high school. He was really struggling, and had to complete three years to graduate. While he didn't become fluent, it helped him enormously. At the end of the third year his teacher told me she was NOT recommending him for fourth year. I doubt he'd have been able to pass at that level, to be honest.

My son is genuinely brilliant at science and math, and while he speaks English fluently, his brain just doesn't seem to want to wrap around other languages. Fortunately for him, the universal language in science these days is English.
