The World Languages Department sets as a priority the ability to use language for proficient and purposeful communication. Culture is integrated in all aspects of language acquisition in order that students may enjoy being part of a world community functioning in a global economy. Starting with the Class of 2029, successful completion of two years of the same World Language will be a graduation requirement. This requirement corresponds with the two years of the same high school World Language which are presently required for grades 9-12 for admission into Massachusetts State Colleges/Universities. Students contemplating admission into private colleges should check individual college requirements.
