I think they just hired a Chinese teacher for next year. Maybe they’re still looking.

No Korean language or other Asian languages ?

Getting an A doesn’t necessarily mean you reach a certain proficiency level.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I’d agree that French teachers are the strongest at pyle, including the head of the department.

Recently there's been teacher turnover and teachers covering extra classes outside their area, plus long term subs.

Not good. Many Pyle students have to retake the same level language classes at Whitman because they are not prepared.

Can anyone with a current student or recently attendee comment on the foreign language classes at Pyle (and by extension, Whitman)? Thinking about moving to the area from an Immersion program and would like DC to keep up their language skills.
