My school’s Spanish program isn't the best, and I really want to get solid at it. Are there free online Spanish courses that give high school credit and are actually good quality?
It's great that you're committed to improving your Spanish skills. Free courses that offer high school credit are a bit uncommon, but there are affordable options that various institutions provide which could count towards your high school credit with prior approval from your school.
Look into online education platforms like edX or Coursera, which offer courses designed by universities. These platforms often have an option to pay a fee for certification, which may be needed for credit recognition. Additionally, some community colleges offer online classes that can be more affordable and might align with high school curriculum standards.
Make sure to discuss any course you find with your guidance counselor to ensure it meets the criteria for credit transfer. They can also guide you on how to proceed with enrollment and credit equivalence. Keep in mind to focus on the depth and engagement of your learning experience, as that will be the real value add to your language skills and your college applications.
