The World Language Department offers two modern languages: French and Spanish. Knowledge and understanding of a world language promotes an appreciation of people and their cultures. In-depth study of a world language equips students with the tools necessary to communicate and problem solve effectively in life and in a global society.  The modern languages stress proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and help students gain an appreciation of different cultures.  It is recommended that students study at least three years of the same language. However, the opportunity is also available for students to explore a second or third language. 

Courses 

UConn Early College Experience (UConn ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows motivated high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UConn ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut. Students benefit by taking college courses in a setting that is both familiar and conducive to learning. The University of Connecticut certifies high school teachers to serve as UConn ECE Instructors and teach UConn courses.
