Hi everyone. This is the first time I have posted and was hoping to get some of your opinions on language immersion schools, versus private school, and which you think is better long term. In general, I'm trying to decide whether to send my daughter to the state primary gaelic immersion school, and gaining the advantage of an additional language, and all the other benefits of brain function that scientists are beginning to associate with bilingualism. Or to send her to a private school, with smaller classes, better facilities etc. There is no gaelic senior school here in Edinburgh, and so I'm planning to send her to private senior school anyway, but I am torn about primary.
For anyone that knows Edinburgh, specifically, my daughter has been offered a place in Heriot's, Watson's and Edinburgh Academy (and I'm torn about which is the best of these too!), and the gaelic school has just moved to a shiny new premises, which seems to have lovely facilities.
Any thoughts on any of this would be appreciated.
