Select A Department:
World Language
The World Language Department offers French, Latin, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. In the seventh grade, students choose to continue with Latin or focus on a modern language. Students must successfully complete the third level of a language in order to fulfill the graduation requirement, but we encourage students to continue their study of a language beyond this level. Upper School students with interest and ability are encouraged to study two languages when possible . We encourage all students to travel and to use their language skills; credit may be granted to those who participate in well-structured summer programs.
The department also sponsors an annual World Language Week, field trips, guest speakers, and trips abroad.
