How do you indicate on the application more details about LanguageBird?
You can only provide additional information about a school in an "additional information" section. You can write something like: LanguageBird is accredited by WASC and Cognia and is UC A-G and NCAA approved. It is an online language school where students are taught one-to-one live via video chat with a native speaking instructor at an accelerated pace.
What if the student is still enrolled and not finished with a course by the time the application is due? What will the transcript look like?
If the student has finished 12 lessons they will get a mid-year grade (semester). That can be represented in the application. All classes planned but not yet taken or completed get logged onto the application as either "Planned" or "in Progress".For any further questions regarding the UC application please contact the UC directly:

Courses for Credit - Curriculum and Evaluation
Learn More.
Of course, if you are a very beginner (levels 1-2 +), all of our teachers are fully bi-lingual and will switch back and forth between English and the language you are studying.
LanguageBird is project-based. At the culmination of the semester or full year course you will be expected to turn in a project to your instructor. Depending on your level of study this could involve a variety of activities but will always include: research, writing, listening, creating and speaking. Your final project is turned in at the end of the course to your instructor. Often it is presented and your teacher will ask you questions. Sometimes it is filmed and turned in. The student will always have input and choice as to the topic of their project.
Pace of Lessons
If your schedule does not permit you to take more than one lesson a week, that’s fine. Provided you don’t skip any weeks, you will finish a full year of study in 24 weeks! That’s still much faster than a traditional class in school. If you are not taking lessons for credit, you can schedule your lessons as frequently as you wish. Again, remember, the more consistent you are, the more quickly you will see progress!
Scheduling
We offer lessons on weekdays as well as weekends. Some students like to learn early in the morning, sometimes it’s after school. Tell us what you need.
Technology Requirements
You can also use the camera built into your computer or an attached web cam, which is very easy to set up. Usually you just plug it into your USB port and are ready to go. Use of a camera is mandatory. It enhances the experience!

How it Works
Course Credit
We recommend you talk to your school counselor and let them know you would like to take a LanguageBird course if it is required for your high school graduation credit (most high schools require 2 years of world language). Some high schools will fill out a concurrent enrollment form and ask you to bring in or send a certificate of completion once your LanguageBird course is finished. We are happy to work with your high school administrator and counselors!
