Student Exchange Programs

I live in Flower Mound, TX and this year will be my first year in High School. I have decided to get a tutor in order to learn Japanese so in Junior or Senior year, I can go as a foreign exchange student.

At my High School, we have to take atleast 2 years of a language. If I show proof that I am already learning a language other than English, can I keep from learning any other language in school since I will be out of the country for the last year or two of school doing school in Japan.

It will be alot of work for me if I have to learn 2 languages and try to keep my grades up to standard to where I would qualify. I HAVE to learn the other language to pass school and I HAVE to learn basic Japanese (( personally )) to make my life easier when I get there.
Okay, what if I decide not to take language untill the last 2 years and during my Junoir year, I go to Japan, that would mean I don’t need it anymore. I would have to take Japanese class.

Right? (( Plleeeeeessseeee… ))
