World Languages

The World Languages program offers courses in:

  • American Sign Language
  • Chinese
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Latin
  • Russian
  • Spanish

Students may enroll in language courses at sequential levels I-V. The middle school offers French and Spanish level I as a two-year program.

In concert with significant educational research in foreign language learning, the World Languages program subscribes to a proficiency-based curriculum which stresses goals that enable students to function in real-life situations. The curriculum provides a framework for achieving the established goals, while allowing teachers maximum flexibility in planning and selection of techniques, strategies, resources and materials. The guide establishes the foundation for student success by integrating language functions, linguistic forms, and cultural context. Read more...
