Course Descriptions - Foreign Language
The foreign language department offers students the opportunity to study Chinese, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. French and Spanish study can begin at the middle school level in grade seven. Students successfully completing the first year of language in the Middle School receive high school credit.
Students must meet requirements in listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, and culture. An average of 70 or better is recommended in order to progress from one course level to the next. If a student does not score a 70 or better, she/he will be expected to repeat the course. The foreign language department encourages active learning through exchange programs, trips to foreign countries and opportunities for study abroad.
Students work with materials aligned with national foreign language standards. Each program emphasizes all language skills. It is recommended that languages be taken consecutively, when possible.
