World Language Program

WORLD LANGUAGES

In an increasingly global world, our teachers and school administrators cooperate in preparing our students to be competitive global citizens. The Connetquot Central School District follows the New York State World Language Standards in order to provide our students with outstanding instruction in world language courses.

The Connetquot Central School District World Language program offers courses in three languages—Spanish, French and Italian—starting in the seventh (7th) grade.

Students take the FLACS Checkpoint A Proficiency Examination at the end of the eighth grade. Students enrolled at Connetquot High School take the FLACS Checkpoint B Proficiency Examination at the end of level IV Honors or level V instruction.

Students have the opportunity to earn college credits through St. John's University College Advantage Program (Spanish, French and Italian) or the Syracuse University Project Advance program (Spanish only).

See your language teacher or guidance counselor for more information about course selection.

Students who accelerate in World Language courses also have the opportunity to become members of the World Language Honor Society.

This requires students to maintain a 90% or better for eight consecutive quarters, an overall average of 85% or better and have no failures.
