12 Frequently Asked Questions for 8 th Grade Students Question: Do I need a world (foreign) language to graduate from high school? When should I take a world language? Answer: You do not need a world language to graduate form high school. However, if you wish to attend a 4 year university you need at least two consecutive years of the same language. Some colleges may require more. We generally recommend most students begin world language study in 10th grade. However, you may begin in 9th. Students who are successful in 8 th grade English can be successful in world language in 9th grade. Remember, taking a world language as an elective is adding another class that requires considerable studying. Question: May I take ceramics as a freshman?
