FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

THIS IS DESIGNED AS A 3-YEAR PROGRAM. CAN I STILL JOIN IF I AM A CURRENT SOPHOMORE OR JUNIOR?

HOW BIG OF A COMMITMENT IS THIS PROGRAM?

WHEN DO ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY?

By graduation! Don’t feel the need to complete them all in one year. You can space them out.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF A LANGUAGE?

Either level 5 or the AP version of that course. It does not have to be the AP or Enriched version. If you are already fluent in another language (maybe you previously lived in another country, speak another language at home or studied elsewhere)

It depends on where you are in the program! Some years you will only be focusing on one or two requirements, other years you will be taking part in your Global Collaboration experience and the Capstone course. 

  • There are monthly meetings

  • There are also optional fun opportunities!

Yes! If you are able to map out the rest of your high school career and fit in all of the requirements, you can absolutely complete the program in fewer years.
