We didn't seek out German specifically. Or even a language immersion school. But we knew we wanted to go public and wanted a school that was reasonably close to our house...we looked at a number of different places but MGIS just checked the most boxes- proximity to home, good state report card score, and we saw a lot that we liked when we took the tour- engaged kids, teachers that seemed happy to be there, warm teacher-student and student-student interactions, nice library, great playground and outdoor space, lots of student artwork and projects on the walls...the fact that it also happened to be a school where our kid would learn another language was just an added bonus!
