Repeating/Remediating World Language Courses for

Eighth Graders (rising ninth grade students)

According to Webb Upper School policy, a student may not retake a language course that was successfully completed in the Middle School with a yearly grade of C or higher. If students make a C or higher in the Middle School course and still feel unprepared to continue in Level II (or to Level III Spanish), they may elect to:

• Engage in extra study of the same language on their own in the summer and then continue in Level II or Level III in the next school year, or

• Change to Level I of another language (there is no Honors for Upper School Level I languages).

If students make a C- or below in a language course, they have three options:

• Follow the same rules for remediation stated for sixth and seventh graders,

• Retake Level I in the Upper School, or

• Change to another language.

Special Situations

While the school policy is to accommodate, within reason, unusual and unexpected situations affecting academic matters for each student, the school reserves the right (at its discretion) to make final academic determinations for the curriculum and performance of each student.
