Studying over the summer to skip a level

[skieurope]

I did not see however whether they have anything for high school students.

They do.Again not cheap. It’s 4 weeks and $6595

I don’t think that either of these would be sufficient as a substitute for a year of French, even with some self-study over the summer.

In general, 7-8 weeks of FT study during the summer is equal to 1 year of college credits during the academic year or roughly 2 years of HS equivalent. Dividing by 2 for 4 weeks equals roughly 1 year of HS study. However, much depends upon the student’s willingness and dedication. And almost every school will still require some type of a challenge exam upon return for any non-sponsored program. Bottom line, that’s a lot of money for jumping out of French 2. Personally, if I (or my parents) had that much available money to spend, I’d rather use it for immersion abroad after having achieved a higher level that HS French 1.
