SEAL OF BILITERACY

The World Language Department, in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of Education, is proud to offer students at Sparta High School the opportunity to achieve the New Jersey State Seal of Biliteracy.  The Seal of Biliteracy is an initiative to recognize students who are literate in multiple languages.  The Seal of Biliteracy program started in 2008 in California and is widely recognized by both colleges/universities and employers. 

To receive the Seal of Biliteracy, students must demonstrate proficiency in English, via high school graduation requirements, and in any other language via standardized testing.  Students can receive the Seal of Biliteracy in any or all of the languages offered at Sparta High School as well as any language spoken at home. 

Testing for the Seal of Biliteracy will take place regularly in the spring for juniors and the winter for seniors.
