Nauset Public Schools participate in the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal of Biliteracy is for any student who demonstrates proficiency in English and any other language, whether they speak another language at home or learned it at school or in the community. The State Seal of Biliteracy aims to:

• Encourage students to study and master languages;

• Certify attainment of biliteracy skills;

• Recognize the value of language diversity;

• Provide employers with a method of identifying people with language and biliteracy skills;

• Provide universities with a method to recognize and give credit to applicants for attainment of high-level skills in languages;

• Prepare students with skills that will benefit them in the labor market and the global society; and

• Strengthen intergroup communication and honor the multiple cultures and languages in a community.*
