My DD started language study in 6th grade and picked up a 2nd language in 9th so by 12th she will have an AP in one if not 2 languages. But that's her thing, not everyone needs to do this.
DD did the same and was even able to push her second foreign language to an AP level in 4 yrs. The rest of her electives she filled up with STEM sciences classes, while keeping all 5 core subjects throughout HS.
She views her chosen field of study as a worldwide community and knowing foreign languages & cultures will only assist her in communicating and exchanging ideas with other within that community.
