Welcome to the CHSN World Languages Webpage!

At North, we offer students the opportunity to study five languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and American Sign Language. In addition to offering a sequence of courses leading to the advanced Regents diploma, students have the opportunity to enroll in college level courses, IB courses, and AP courses. Our goal as a department is to increase students' knowledge and understanding of the world around them and encourage students to become active global citizens.

Although our languages aren't one

and the same,

the deeper language

of our hopes and dreams

remains so

in our ceaseless pursuit

of worldwide peace and unity.

Through

the sharing of languages,

through the communication

of cultures,

through the expression

of common visions,

we hope to salvage peace,

not destroy it;

unite, rather than scatter.
