<p>My son is a 3-year graduate and couldn’t fit 2 years of a language into his schedule without giving up important AP classes, most of which are only taught during one period each year. We opted to take his foreign language requirement online through the University of Missouri, which has a fully-accredited high school curriculum. Some, if not all, of these language classes are considered “gifted” level, which translate to Honors level, an important consideration if you are concerned with a weighted GPA affecting class rank. French, German, Latin and Spanish are available for 2-3 years.</p>

<p>I should note that my son is taking German because I am fluent in it and can help him with pronunciation. It might be helpful to have a fluent speaker available, unless it’s Year 3 of a sequence, in which case your son should already have enough experience with pronunciation to do well. (The midterm and final is proctored, usually at one’s school, and a portion of the test is to listen to the recorded passage, which they send on CD or tape, and transcribe it or answer the questions from 4 possible choices.)</p>
