[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former WL teacher here.

Middle schools can run 3 options: 
1. Level 1 Part A as a semester course (Grade 7), Level 1 Part B as a year-long course (Grade 8). 
2. Level 1 Part A as a yr-long (7th), Level 1 B as a yr-long (8th). 
3. Level 1 as a single year course in 8th (note: I've heard that some schools offer Level 1 in Grade 7 so that they can offer Level 2 in 8th, but can't confirm).  [/quote]

Our FCPS middle school absolutely offers Spanish 1 in seventh grade and Spanish 2 in eighth grade. 
Students can also opt to take Spanish 1 in eighth grade or split Spanish 1 into the two parts, which are both full-year courses.

I don't think this school offers the same for French. I think the only options for French are French 1 in eighth grade OR full-year Part A/Part B over the two years of middle school. [/quote]

Is it Longfellow or some other large % of AAP students? I thought I had heard years ago that Longfellow offered the Level 1 for 7th and Level 2 for 8th, but again, that information is OLD and I can't confirm. [/quote]

No, it is Franklin.[/quote]

Rocky Run also offers Spanish 1/French 1 in 7th and Spanish 2/ French 2 in 8th. I think they used to also offer Latin in 7th but that appears to be dropped. You can go to the website of any MS or HS to view the course catalog (or course selection sheet) and it will tell you what is offered. [/quote]
