American Sign Language Program

Our American Sign Language program provides students the unique opportunity to use the language, or see it in use, right here in the school thanks to our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Department. Our Level 1 ASL course offers hearing students the opportunity to learn basic sign language and learn about Deaf culture. Students learn conversational and cultural behaviours that would enable them to converse in ASL at a beginner’s level with users of ASL who are deaf or hard of hearing.
