[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard that they might have a Japanese 3/4 combined class so that Japanese is available to 9th and 10th graders. They might do something similar with other languages or classes.

I would guess that the 10th grade class will grow as kids move into the area and will join the school. It is going to be a smaller class but I think it can work well with some creativity.[/quote]

Offering a niche language like Japanese when you have such a small population does not make sense. The Japanese teacher would need to come to the school just to teach one class.

The Japanese teacher can walk from Carson, where there are 30 kids in Japanese Immersion 1 and 2, to Skyview for the 15+ kids who are moving to Skyview that will be in Japanese 3 and the kids who are coming from SLHS who will be in Japanese 4. Fox Mill ES is a Japanese Immersion program, which continues at Carson. There are kids who attend Westfield that have participated in the JI program that will be at Skyview as well as the Fox Mill kids that opted in to Skyview.

Westfield and SLHS offer Japanese because of the JI program at Fox Mill, it made sense that it would be an option at Skyview, especially since they have kids who enrolled in Japanese 3 at South Lakes and Westfield that opted in for Skyview. [/quote]
