Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Has anyone done this?

Is this small school familiar with math course sequences at typical public schools? In our district (and many others), Algebra II for the top 10% of students is the norm. Also, I'm a bit confused on the Spanish - while the two years is required, how many years of Spanish does the school offer? Do they only offer Spanish in HS? Seems odd - most private schools I know of start foreign languages in elementary, and public schools start them by 7th grade (so you can get to the AP course). I strongly suggest taking four years of Spanish. Top colleges (and even those a tier below) want more than two years.

Schedule conflicts are a pain. Middle kid has another one this year - French IV Honors and Spanish IV Honors are offered the same period. AP French fits the schedule so I think she'll do that (it is that or Non-honors Spanish IV and a switch to weight lifting for PE class- but maybe my 5'-5", 105 lb. kid could use that).
