How much Math ?

I think he actually will take math in France, but in French. The school feels – with 40 years of program experience – that it’s not sufficient math for a math credit. Having seen the notebooks of returning students, it is probably equivalent to our Algebra 1.

The current school will allow a distance learning Algebra 2, done while in the US. Or, he can do Algebra 2 closer to home than his school, if we can find that option (haven’t found it yet!). Distance learning for the math class while in France is probably not an option – something about the internet connections not being available/reliable in the specific destination is what I gather.

EDIT: I asked a similar question of the group a few months ago. The focus I am looking for this go-round is how many high school credits does he need and what level math does he need when we’re talking elite college admissions. For example, suppose we are talking Cornell or Georgetown. We’re way early to be making a college list but these are the two that come up from this focused kid.
