[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a rising junior. He has been in advanced/honors and then started some IB courses sophomore year.

He was told he won’t be able to get full IB unless he does IB language this year.

DS was in language immersion in ES, but the quality was not the same every year and he got off track during the pandemic. I ended up taking him out of FCPS and put him into an in person private during the pandemic because his mental health was suffering. The private did not have his target language. We returned to FCPS once they were reliably in person and he was allowed back into immersion, but he never really caught up and ended up with a B freshman year, and didn’t feel like he was going to be able to keep up, so he asked to switch to another language sophomore year.
I was dealing with my own stuff and not as on top of things as I should have been and I regret not looking into the consequences of failing to continue in the immersion language sequence. Now it looks like he is screwed and there is no way he will be able to complete the world language for IB, so no IB certificate.

I’m just venting, because his peers at school are all on track to complete it and I’m afraid he won’t be as competitive for college admissions since he will be compared to them.

Is there any option I am missing?[/quote]

Does the school offer AP classes or is a high school transfer feasible? In AP he can just focus on his strengths, and there are no odd diploma requirements and he would still get the most rigorous coursework if this matters to his college application.[/quote]
