[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, APS immersion kids take immersion 9 in 9th, AP Spanish lang in 10th and AP Spanish lit in 11th (typically). Some also take another language as an elective, but many don’t. I have no idea what colleges think about it. [/quote]That's the easier pathway.  APS also has a pathway with AP Spanish Language in 9th.  See page 24:

Do you know anyone following the path of AP Spanish in 9th? I see the document, but know of no one doing this (my kid is in 10th in immersion, and we know older and younger kids in the program, too). Some immersion kids actually take immersion 10 in 10th and don’t take the first AP class until 11th, if they aren’t ready yet. [/quote]

No, I'm not aware of any students actually following that path. I have one older immersion student and one recent grad. Neither was ready for an AP class freshman year. Both took AP Spanish Language as 10th graders, and AP Spanish Literature as 11th graders. That seems to be the most common path for immersion students.

My immersion recent grad was admitted to UVA and W&M without a language senior year. That kid took an AP science senior year, and it didn't make sense to adjust their class schedule to start a new language senior year.

Thanks for the info. That’s what I’ve seen as well in terms of immersion students’ HS language path. [/quote]
