Distance Learning

[Maria Basom]

Colleagues,

I had an inquiry from a high school student in a small town in Iowa, who was 
asking about on-line courses in Russian.  She was adopted from Russia in May 
2005 at the age of 13.  She speaks, reads and writes both Russian and 
English.  The distance high school courses her family has investigated would 
allow her to demostrate that she has taken a foreign language, but not help 
her expand her language skills. Are there any distance learning programs 
anyone can recommend (Russian for heritage learners?)?  She could handle 
college level course work (but she does not live near a college); for 
example, she has read all of the Harry Potter books in Russian.

Please respond off-list.
Thanks for your help!!!
Maria
