My daughter will be attending Kindergarten next year and I'm looking for feedback on these magnet schools: Collinswood, Smith Language, and our neighborhood school, Pinewood.

Info I have on 2 schools.

Several area children attend Smith to learn other languages. You can speak with that principal ynez.olshausen@cms.k12.nc.us.Welcome!
''Creating Bright Futures in 6 Languages''

Smith Academy of International Languages (SAIL) is a K-8 language immersion
magnet located in Charlotte, North Carolina. We offer language immersion
in Chinese, German, French, and Japanese for grades K through 8 and in Spanish
for grades 6 through 8. To discover more about language immersion and Smith Academy,
please explore our website or contact us.


The principal at Pinewood is an award winning Principal and is very nice. Ms. Guzman was honored in 2005 as a National Distinguished Principal. She was recognized in Washington, D.C. by the U.S. Secretary of Education, Margaret Spelling for that great honor.

I would suggest touring these 2 schools and see which one you like the best. Pinewood of course is only a few years old.
