国际教育常见问题解答

FAQ

Q: What do current families need to do about transitions from elementary to middle or high school?

A: If you reside in the neighborhood attendance area of the middle or high school in the International/Dual Language pathway, your child will be assigned to that school by default (so you do not need to submit a form).

To check your student’s current assignment, use our Assignment Lookup Tool.

If you do NOT reside in the school’s attendance area (use our Assignment Lookup Tool to check), then you do need to submit the School Choice form available on the Open Enrollment and School Choice. Indicate the International/Dual Language pathway middle school or high school and your child will be guaranteed placement in that pathway school.

Here are the pathways for 2020-2021:

  • John Stanford and McDonald International > Hamilton Intl MS > Lincoln HS
  • Beacon Hill Intl and Dearborn Park Intl > Mercer Intl MS > Rainier Beach HS
  • Concord Intl > Denny Intl MS > Chief Sealth Intl HS

问:我如何知道我的孩子是否有资格进入初中或高中的国际英语/DLI课程?

A: If your child is in the Spanish, Japanese, 或约翰斯坦福大学的汉语普通话双语浸入式课程, McDonald, Beacon Hill, 迪尔伯恩公园或康科德国际学校, 然后他们就有资格进入国际/DL中学课程. 如果他们在汉密尔顿的中学双语继续班, Mercer, 或Denny Intl硕士(西班牙语/日语/中国语言艺术3B), 然后他们就有资格进入国际/DL高中课程.

(Note that there may be students who joined the Dual Language Immersion pathway during middle school but did not attend one of the elementary International Schools; they still qualify for the high school pathway.)

问:什么是国际学校双语课程?

A: The concept of a pathway is that a student entering a Dual Language (DL) program within an International School in elementary school would be able to continue in that Dual Language program into middle school, and that middle school DL students would be able to continue on a pathway into high school.

国际学校DL途径就是一个很好的例子 Southwest region:康科德国际学校延续到丹尼国际中学, 一直到西思酋长国际高中.

In the Northwest region, the two elementary International Schools, 约翰斯坦福国际学校和麦当劳国际学校, 送入汉密尔顿国际中学, 汉密尔顿DL学生的途径是林肯高中.

In order to access the DL pathway:

  • Rising 5th graders at John Stanford and McDonald International Schools who live outside of the Hamilton Attendance Area will need to fill out a choice form to continue in the International Schools DL Pathway at Hamilton. 这些学生的作业是有保证的，但他们必须填写表格.
  • 8th graders in Hamilton DL who live outside of the Lincoln Attendance Area will need to fill out a choice form to continue in the International Schools DL Pathway at Lincoln High School.

In the Southeast region, two elementary International Schools, Beacon Hill International School and Dearborn Park International School feed into Mercer International Middle School. 高中双语课程继续到雷尼尔海滩高中.

就读于其他高中的美世中文和西班牙语双语学生, such as Franklin, Garfield, or Cleveland, may have the opportunity to take higher level world language classes at those high schools, 但目前还没有用西班牙语或普通话教授内容课程.

问:中学参加双语项目的学生怎么样?

A: If a student has demonstrated language proficiency at a level expected for placement in Dual Language classes in middle school, then that student may also be placed at the designated International High School pathway for that region. 如果学生想在不同地区的国际高中注册, the family can apply during Open Enrollment.

问:国际小学的入学政策是什么?

A: 了解正规买足球的App的入学信息, 请查看注册服务网页. 这里有一些具体的链接，可能会对你有所帮助:

  • 学校页面有关于选择学校的信息, 比如约翰斯坦福国际学校和麦当劳国际学校. As Option Schools, they have 20% set-aside for native/heritage speakers of Spanish or Japanese to join their programs. 督学的学生作业程序3130 SP解释了这个过程.
  • 所有其他的国际小学都是邻里学校. Families outside the neighborhood boundary can still apply to them during Open Enrollment, but space may be limited.

While admission to one of the elementary International Schools at Kindergarten is quite competitive, 特别是对于住在附近的家庭(比如比肯山), Dearborn Park, or Concord), 或在GeoZone之外选择学校(麦当劳和约翰斯坦福), 一年级至五年级很有可能会有空缺, and especially from 3rd – 5th grades because those grades have higher class sizes and need to attract fluent speakers of the immersion language to join the program during those grades.

问:其他国家的学生可以在正规买足球的App就读吗?

A: 访问区正规买足球的App网页:正规买足球的App服务:国际学生. 西雅图学区的惯例是接纳任何人为学生, regardless of national origin or citizenship, upon documentation that the student or parent/guardian resides within the boundaries of the Seattle School District.
