[quote=Anonymous][quote=Pyriimide]I am a little curious about your suggestion of taking German classes at GMU. So are you saying, that high school students can take classes there and perhaps fulfill FCPS language credits that way? Or is it more as a personal gain? At what age can you start enrolling a kid? 14? 16?

Speaking about Robinson SS IB, yes my understanding is that in order to be admitted to a German university you’ve got to either have the IB program or take AP classes specifically to match the German Abitur requirements (e.g. one science, math, English, social studies). But at Robinson SS you still have the choice between IB or the normal AP system, right?

I was also wondering if with Robinson SS the German education provided would be structured better as the classes at the middle school level would be followed by HS classes from the same school. But it seems like at least level 3+ German is worth a go.[/quote]

German classes in a US university are going to be pretty low-level. To illustrate, I tested into second-year German at UChicago during law school after a decade of never using the language. And I can barely speak it.[/quote]
