This two-semester course is a continuation of French language studies. Students will read authentic literary works including plays, novels, and poetry. They will continue perfecting written skills through grammar review and compositions. Emphasis will also be placed on the students’ fluency in discussing literature as well as in conversation. Students will be expected to take the Advanced Placement exam at the end of the course. This course is taught entirely in French.

It is highly advised to take the Advanced Placement exam as a culmination of the AP course curriculum. Students who successfully complete an AP course will have a .5 weighted grade applied to their GPA for the course. Students who participate in the AP exam will have a total of 1.0 weighted grade applied to their GPA for the course. Regardless of exam participation, a student's transcript will reflect the title of the AP course they enrolled in.

Each exam has a cost that will be incurred by the student.  If students are in need of financial assistance to help with the cost of AP exams, please see your assigned counselor for information
