Two years of foreign language...

<p>In our state we have an opportunity to choose our high schools. My son chose to go to the high school that was more technical (math/science) and chose the Project Lead the Way curriculum. This high school offers no language courses, but you could take these at the comprehensive high school if wanted. This was not easy as the PLTW curriculum and the required hs curriculum (4 years of the 4 main subjects) does not leave time for many other electives. Fortunately with taking PE in summer school for 2 years, he was able to fit in 3 years of Spanish. Many of his school friends on the same path did not have any language or only 1 year. When applying to a school that required language, the counselor wrote a note that language was not available in the school. None of the kids got in Ivy League schools (I don’t think any applied for these) but they all got in the engineering schools of their choice because of the PLTW engineering (stem) courses that they took. I really think the two years your child has would satisfy most colleges especially when they look at the other courses taken.</p>
