So basically, the student could have these options in terms of getting foreign language study to what more selective colleges want to see:

  1. Attend a high school that offers Mandarin and continue it to year 4 or higher. However, more advanced math and science may have to be taken at an outside high school or college.
  2. Attend the STEM high school without Mandarin and take Spanish or French that this high school offers to year 4.
  3. Attend the STEM high school without Mandarin and continue Mandarin at an outside high school or college to year 4 or higher (or college equivalent).

Options 1 or 3 may involve extra cost and/or commuting for the outside high school or college.
