Wakefield's Vision Statement for World Language Teaching and Learning

The Wakefield Public Schools World Language program aims to develop students’ language proficiency and cultural awareness for real-world purposes. Through high-quality, inclusive, and culturally responsive instruction, every student will build reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in a new language while fostering a deep understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. Our program promotes empathy, respect, and open-mindedness, equipping students with the tools to engage meaningfully in a multicultural world.

As educators, we are committed to providing all students with equitable opportunities to thrive in world language education, encouraging them to take risks, embrace challenges, and cultivate a lifelong passion for learning languages. Our collective responsibility is to ensure that every student develops the skills to navigate an interconnected and diverse world with confidence and curiosity.
