A new school with Russian immersion program

As I was writing previously, Global Village Academy was applying for a new charter school north of Denver. The school would feature four dual language immersion programs, including Russian-English. So, the great news that I received a couple of days ago is that their application has been approved. Here is the full email from them:

Global Village Academy Announcement

We are pleased to announce that the Adams 12 Five Star School Board unanimously approved the Global Village Academy charter!  GVA will open for the 2011-2012 school year. We are in final negotiations for a building in the Northglenn area and a final decision will be made by the end of January.  We know that many of you are anxious to start with volunteer work and more information on that will be coming by the end of the week.  Where you can help the most is with student recruitment.  Tell all your friends and neighbors about GVA! Thank you for your enthusiasm and support during this process.  This could not have happened without you.  We look forward to working with you in the coming months. Sincerely - Christina Burton Executive Principal John Kaufman Vice Principal Charmaine Nicolau Communications Coordinator

This is especially thrilling because there is a total of 2 or 3 other Russian immersion programs in the US. So, our options for Sasha's dual immersion education were very limited, but now there is this new school in  Denver Metro Area. Well, by 2015, we have to move to the suburbia in order for Sasha to attend that school. He is already on the waiting list with them for that year. I will let you know further details, as I get more messages from them.
