The purpose of the World Language Department is to provide an opportunity for all students to gain proficiency in French, German and Spanish according to their ability and to the pace and depth at which they would like to learn a language. Every effort is made to acquaint the student with the history, the culture and the literature of the countries in which these languages are spoken. A continuum of four or five levels is encouraged for all students, especially honors students.  Due to the sequential nature of learning a second language, students are encouraged not to skip a school year between levels.
