<p>Is there any advice against taking a language as the 4th class?</p>
<p>Just be careful and have several possibilities planned. You can’t choose your directed studies schedule and it may conflict with a particular language class.</p>
<p>It’s true you get assigned your DS classes, but it’s possible to switch with someone in a different section, so there is some flexibility.</p>
<p>scoutsmom - yes, you can likely switch, but it’s not guaranteed. Then, while you wait to switch, you have to keep attending the DS class you’re enrolled in so you miss classes in the course you want to take.</p>
<p>My son took an advanced language class with DS. It was not a problem.</p>
