[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will move to the area this summer. Do middle school kids usually take a foreign language for high school credit? Which level is common when starting high school? Thanks![/quote]

For our MCPS W school feeder, kids used to take 1-3 in middle and start high school at 4. Now they’ve switched to level 1 over two years so it’s 1A-1b-2 and so they start high school now at level 3, which I think is a much better approach. Not all kids start language in 6th grade, but it’s typical. [/quote]

The 1A-1B-2 sequence is on the high school transcript and they get credit for graduation. Does it count towards the 2-4 years most colleges list as admission requirements?[/quote]

You’d need to check to verify for any school with a requirement. More typically, colleges just have it as a recommendation rather than a requirement (especially if it’s more than two years). And the more selective ones likely want to see language in high school, preferably all four years unless you hit AP earlier. [/quote]

Any idea about UMD?[/quote]

UMD usually tracks the MD State HS Graduation requirements, which are now 2 years of the same language in HS[/quote]
