The World Language curriculum prepares students to embrace humanity and celebrate diversity. We cultivate a respect for different cultures, nationalities, beliefs, languages, and ways of life. This is achieved through compassion, understanding, appreciation, openness, tolerance, and perseverance. We provide unique and diverse educational opportunities that encourage our students to make world connections. Offering an exciting range of courses at the honors and Advanced Placement levels,  our program encourages students to take three consecutive years of the same language, to take more than one language, and to participate in Study Abroad Programs. 

Northside students are given the opportunity to travel internationally through our Global Initiative Program, experiencing the world as their classroom. Groups have traveled to China, Korea, Japan, Guatemala,  Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Italy,  Spain, France, and the Czech Republic.
