[quote=Anonymous]According to the FCPS website

"The FCPS FLES model develops students' language proficiency by providing language instruction that supports the concepts taught in the subject areas at the respective grade level. Generally, programs have 30 minutes of instruction two to three times per week, which is articulated through middle and high school. FCPS FLES model is based on the research that shows that students are not only able to learn but are also highly engaged in learning content through the target language. In addition, the culture of the target language is integrated into instruction."

I don't how it is done in practice.  The oldest kids in the program are in MS now and haven't hit HS.  Longfellow currently offers Chinese, but only to Chesterbrook matriculating students.  I don't know if they plan to expand that.  I know McLean HS is aware of them and plans to offer Chinese as a foreign language.  German is the most likely to be dropped as Longfellow already dropped it a few years ago.
