| DC is failing French and goes to private school. Anyone know of a high school summer program, public or private in DC or NoVa? TIA |

Can you afford an immersion course abroad? Send her to a program in France where she lives with a family and studies French three to four hours a day. Real classes five days a week, not just traveling to see the louvre. Then have her start in the fall at the same level she would have started without the summer school.
I did this and it helped a lot. |

| Also, to get her vocab up, make it a rule than whenever she is watching a movie or tv show, she has to out French subtitles on and read them while watching. I do that and I think it helps keep me language up. |

| Middlebury runs a summer program at NCS. |

| If you don't want to send her to France, look at Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota. Four weeks of immersion can give a year of high school credit. |

Alliance Francaise maybe? If they don't have the level she needs they can recommend a tutor
Or she can take online classes via skype |

I am pretty certain St. Albans' summer school offers French. Good luck! |
