Modern Languages

Foreign language study in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish is offered in the 8th grade with the aim of preparing students for the AP Language Tests. This course offering enables students to receive four years of language instruction prior to enrolling in the AP course. Successful completion of the level one introduction will therefore place students in level two of their respective languages once they enter their freshman year of high school. The enrollment criterion for foreign language enrichment is rather stringent due to the fact that students are committing themselves to a high school level course which includes a high school level workload and high school level expectations.
