The study of languages is integral to a well-rounded education in today’s global society. We in the World Language Department feel that every student can and should study at least one world language. The study of languages builds skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and promotes understanding and appreciation of cultural differences. Learning a world language supports academic achievement, promotes understanding of other cultures and peoples, and opens opportunities for employment not only in business but also government, international relations and law, communications, travel, publishing and scientific research, among others.

The World Languages Department offers programs in French, Spanish and Latin. Milton students who have successfully completed World Language study in grades 1 through 5 (Spanish Elementary and French Immersion Programs), and three years of that same language at Pierce Middle School (French Immersion or Spanish), usually begin their high school study of world languages with the third-year level of that language. Students who have successfully completed three years of Latin at the Pierce Middle School usually begin with the second-year Latin course at the High School.

Students of French, Spanish and Latin may also begin to study an additional language at the High School. Placement tests determine the level at which students should start their studies of a new language. In all languages offered, Honors courses are accelerated and require above average past achievement.

French, Spanish, and Latin students are encouraged to take advanced classes and to prepare for the SAT Subject tests* and the Advanced Placement Language exams. All students in the Advanced Placement Language course are required to take the test.

* More information at: http://sat.collegeboard.org/about-tests/sat-subject-tests. French, Latin and Spanish SAT tests are offered several times a year (Spanish and French with listening in November). SAT Subject Tests allow students to differentiate themselves in the college admission process. Students should discuss with their teachers the best time to take the test.
