<p>What would concern me most is that the STEM program you describe is a work-in-progress, possibly developed by educators who with the best of intentions are experimenting with the curriculum. While experimentation has merit in poorly performing schools, and with poorly motivated students, it is not clear why it is necessary with a motivated and bright student.</p>
<p>Conventional wisdom is that a core course curriculum would allow 4 years of the same foreign language. This wisdom also stresses a balance between core courses in english, history, lab science and math – in addition to foreign language. You would see it in operation at the very best college preparatory high schools in the United States. These are schools that produce some of the best prepared students for the rigors of college.</p>
<p>Without more specifics regarding the complete STEM curriculum it is difficult to recommend a course of action.</p>
