2 years of the same World Language are required for college entrance and graduation if the student plans on attending college.
We offer 3-5 years in Japanese, German, French, Spanish and American Sign Language. Students must have prerequisite English grammar skills to begin a World Language. We offer an introductory course for students who are not ready for a full World Language course. We also offer Language Studies courses after 2 years have been completed. These courses are a continuation of language study without the rigor of a 3rd or 4th course.
