[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only concern is language if you’re in an IB pyramid, as that requires 5 years.

Otherwise, let him explore and try out whatever he wants! Electives should be enjoyable, not a means to an end.

He does not need to do band or theater or art in middle school to participate in high school. Middle school is truly exploration.[/quote]

So if you are in IB pyramid, you should take a language by 8th grade? Does the school guid you on this?[/quote]

Hi there - yes, your student should start a language in 8th grade if they want to pursue the IB diploma. The counselors talk to 7th graders about this during course selection. As a parent, I didn’t know this, but the counselors did a great job explaining everything to the kids.

Some kids start in 7th - it’s not necessary, and 7th is really the only year your kid will get to take a second “fun” elective. So for instance, if your kid is in band, 7th would be the only year they can take engineering bc every other year will be band + language for electives. There is no harm though in starting in 7th, but I would only do it if your kid really wants to.[/quote]
