*Upper level options depend on what is offered at the high school. The sequence of courses is somewhat flexible and depends on student choice and preparedness for the AP/IB exams. Magruder currently offers AP French Language and AP Spanish Language and AP Spanish Literature. Students who articulate to our IB magnet schools will have the option of taking IB Language courses.
