The study of a world language is an essential component of a 21st
century education. In our interdependent world, knowledge of a
second language is vital in many fields, including business, law,
political science, and medicine. Knowing another language not only
helps to develop an awareness and understanding of people with different
cultures and lifestyles, but it also helps develop a better
understanding of your own language.
At the elementary level, students will begin their exposure to world
languages with Spanish. By grade 7, students can choose to study
French, Latin, or Spanish.
