The mission of the World Language Department is to create a community of global learners equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge of other languages and cultures that will enable them to communicate effectively in a 21st-century multilingual environment.The Global Certificate is something the Hoboken School District is offering to recognize students who have made the conscious decision to gain a more global perspective on life through their studies and through other activities with a global focus. This is recognized via a formal certificate that is noted on a student’s transcript. Students will also have a chance to advance to the Spanish National Honor Society.

To earn the Global Certificate, students must take certain courses in school, complete optional activities in other courses, complete out of school activities and complete community service activities.
