World+Languages

= = The World Languages Department is committed to building greater comprehension and proficiency for students of modern world languages with a balanced approach to the communicative skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing. Modern and Classical Languages are taught as a vehicle for understanding and appreciating different cultures and views of the world. The student is given a solid foundation in the necessary elements in all languages, including pronunciation, idiomatic usage and vocabulary. The language program consists of sequential courses in Chinese, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. AP courses are available in all languages but Chinese. Students must be recommended for AP courses by the World Languages faculty. Students are required to complete nine consecutive trimesters of one World Language in sequential order. Three trimesters of the requirement are able to be satisfied by completing the 7th and 8th grade Middle School World Languages curriculum in one language or an equivalent program at a different school that is approved by the Department.
