[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I thought the normal course sequence is Language 1-4, then either AP or DE for the language in year 5. How do you take 6 years of a language?[/quote]

Two of mine who had 6 years took two years of the FL as IB classes.  Another went from a very strong public MS in Arlington to private HS and had to take a test at the HS to see his level of proficiency, along with two other friends going from the same public MS to the same private HS.  Despite having 3 years of FL in MS they all tested as if having only 1 year.  Generally MS foreign language is not as strong as HS and UVA likely knows that.[/quote]

My kid who does extremely well in languages- was similar. They tested into honors but lost a year which is fine.  MS language courses are not as strong.

Nobody really cares about middle school anyway. They were 11-13.  If you switch to private nothing from public MS is on your transcript anyways. Colleges only care about the 4 years of HS.[/quote]
