[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, beside Richard Montgomery and DCI what high schools offer higher level Chinese courses?[/quote]

Wilson, WIS and Sidwell for starters.[/quote]

What do you mean by "higher level" Chinese courses?

Only two MoCo high schools offer Higher Level International Baccalaureate Diploma Chinese (1-2 years past Standard Level IBD and AP).  They are Bethesda Chevy Chase (open enrollment) and Richard Montgomery (test-in admitting around 10% of 8th grade applicants countywide).  Rockville HS will offer IDP HL Chinese soon, and possibly WIS.  The "W" MoCo high schools offer AP Chinese.  SL IBD Chinese is probably what DCI will offer, at least for starters, without two-way immersion lower down.

Wilson's AP Chinese program is new, and relatively weak.  They only had half a dozen students take AP Chinese this year, none scoring 5s (though 80% of AP Chinese test takers score 5s nationwide, the highest percentage of any AP test).  Sidwell's program is strong, but only to AP Chinese, not IBD HL.

Hope that helps.  [/quote]
