World Languages

World Language Vision Statement

Our world language and culture program will inspire and expand students’ understanding of the dynamic interconnections of a global community. Through a well thought out and multi-tiered approach, the introduction of world language and culture study begins in Kindergarten and fosters the development of skills and understandings in the areas of communication, culture, comparisons, connections, and community. The global learner graduates with confidence in her/his abilities to acquire multiple languages and to communicate with people in varied settings to exchange ideas and solve problems.

Transfer Goals

Students will be able to independently use their learning to:

• Explore other cultures and languages.
• Apply knowledge of geographical, cultural and linguistic concepts to participate in a global community.
• Communicate in a variety of ways to exchange ideas.
