[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you Chinese? Why would you want to take Mandarin?[/quote]

You are joking, right? [/quote]

No, I wasn't. I don't understand why someone would take Chinese in this area otherwise. It doesn't have any real utility unless you anticipate living and working in China.[/quote]

Not the person you are responding to, but. . .

That's great.  Now, can you stop clogging up my thread where I am trying to find out some concrete information here?

1)  How can I find out which schools other than Marshall and TJ (if any) offer Mandarin?  I have already looked on FCPS website.  Short of randomly selecting each school and searching out the info within the site, I am not seeing any way to search for this.  (?)

2)  If you are zoned for a school that does not offer Mandarin, can you switch to one that does offer it?[/quote]

Not sure about other schools, but Chinese is part of Marshall's Academy.  This means that you can be bussed from another school to Marshall to take the class.  You may need to be in a certain area, however, to get bussed.  For example, Falls Church, McLean, and Langley all come to Marshall as they are fairly close.  I am not sure if other schools allow it if they are further away.  [/quote]

Fairfax HS also has it as part of their Academy.  Is that closer to you than Marshall?
