Student survey results helped to determine the "Language LIneup" for the 25-26 school year!
Many thanks to the students in grades 4 - 7 who took the survey in June, 2025.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has developed a detailed outline of the World Language curriculum focusing on four core strands for learning: Communication, Culture, Comparisons/Connections, and Communities. This is our third year reintroducing a World Language program here at St. Joseph/St. Robert School, special attention will be given to ensure students become comfortable with basic, introductory skills within these four strands with an emphasis on culture in the countries where the language being studied is spoken as the primary language.
