Seal of Biliteracy

The Seal of Biliteracy is a special recognition that acknowledges graduation seniors for their ability to communicate, read, and write two or more languages at a high level of proficiency. Those students attaining the seal will receive a special insignia on their transcript as well as a Certificate of Biliteracy issued by the State of New Jersey Department of Education.

For more information on the Seal of Biliteracy, please visit the NJ Department of Education website: NJ DOE Seal of Biliteracy.

Today's society is a global one. Being able to communicate in more than one language is a vital skill that will meet the demands of the 21st century. The Seal of Biliteracy will open the door to many opportunities for those pursuing higher education or joining the workforce.

All juniors and seniors in a World Language class level 4/honors or AP sit for an NJDOE approved proficiency assessment. Students must demonstrate a proficiency of Intermediate Mid or above on listening, speaking, reading and writing in the World Language, in addition to meet the State high school graduation requirements for ELA.
