Le+francais+a+Uni

Language classes at University Laboratory High School cover four years, starting the subfreshman year, and ending the junior year. During the senior year, students at Uni can take another language, enroll concurrently at the University of Illinois in a higher level of the language they have already been studying, or can opt for independent study. Students are expected to complete two consecutive years of study of one language to meet graduation requirements. Most continue for the full four years. It is always refreshing to see the students after they go off to college, come back and say that they are continuing, or that they had a chance to travel and use the language.
