[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child likes the language and wants to continue I’d ask the school and if they could create a “class of one” for him/her. Call it “Applied French” or “Spanish Literature” and have it go beyond language learning into culture, etc. Your child could pace themselves and even help develop the curriculum. Then study independently one period a day and meet with the teacher after school twice a week for assignments and discussions, like a college course. It would make a fabulous topic for a college essay as well.

College essays for applications?  Those are written the summer before senior year or in Sept-Nov - so they would not have the experience yet.

Is the teacher expected to volunteer for this or would they be paid for the extra time?  [/quote]

EA deadlines are November. An essay can be written in early fall about their move of language and this initiative to pursue it. And yes, a language teacher with a kid who showed this much interest might volunteer. I know because one did for me when I maxed out a subject. [/quote]
