NYS SEal of Biliteracy
The New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB) was established to recognize high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages, in addition to English.
The intent of the NYSSB is to:
• Affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society
• Encourage the study of language
• Identify high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employer
• Provide universities with additional information about applicants seeking
admission
• Prepare students with twenty-first century skills
• Recognize the value of world and home language instruction in schools.
The Rochester City School District promotes the Seal of Biliteracy for all English Language Learners in our bilingual programs.
