until + future tense

[joham]

Is the future (continuous) tense in the 'until' clause correct?

He has to live with his parents until he will leave/ will be leaving school for college.

My reason for the tense comes from Martin Hewings's ADVANCED GRAMMAR IN USE (2005 edition): It is still a few months until he will be leaving for college.

Could I ask native English teachers to help me with this question? Thank you very much.

Here's my take and my reasoning, Joham.

Martin H's example is a one time, new event so 'will' is warranted, Joham. But yours, with 'leave school', is a routine event that follows from going to school.

Now, how do you think it should be worded?

Most native speakers will say '...until he leaves school for...'.
