[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way they can staff four different (two obscure) languages for fewer than 1000 students. [/quote]

Wake up, this isn’t 1995 any more. Korean is not an obscure language, especially around here, and especially now with Korea becoming dominant. When Skyview is running at full capacity it would make sense that Korean be one of the languages offered.[/quote]

No dog in this hunt.  However, Korean is the FLES at Floris according to fcps website.

Oak Hill has Chinese.

That doesn't mean they can offer Korean and Chinese at Skyview.  Japanese is more likely because of the JI program at Fox Mill.

Carson is actually bigger than Skyview will be in year one. [/quote]
Why not see what languages are offered at Carson which is the middle school feeder for Skyview?[/quote]

Carson offers Spanish, French, and Japanese. They had Chinese in 2024-2025 but it was not offered this year. I believe that there is room for a 4th language and I don't know if they have set the fourth language. I do know that Korean was mentioned back in the initial conversations about who could opt-in, I am not sure if that is still on the list. I do think that the school is responding to the incoming populations and if there are schools that are going to be in boundary with a language immersion program, they will include that language. That is what is happening with Japanese. If Fox Mill is moved to Skyview, the JI program will need to move with it. There are enough students in the program to run at least one clas a year at SLHS, I have no idea if there are students who were not in JI that pick up Japanese at SLHS.  I want to say that there were between students in the Japanese Immersion classes at Carson. The 8th grade group split down the middle between SLHS and Skyview.
