Foreign Languages
MUMS offers 7th and 8th graders 3 languages for their foreign language selection, French, Spanish, and German. 6th grade students choose the language they will take in 7th grade. Generally, students will follow through on a language for the two years in middle school, but this is not always the case. There are two levels for each language, designated with numbers. French 1, for example, is generally taken in 7th grade, and is easier than the 8th grade course of French, French 2. Some students opt to switch out of their language class between 7th and 8th grade to choose another of the 3 languages. In the high school, 3 additional languages are offered, Italian, Chinese and Latin.
