Curriculum overview
The World Languages Department at Wachusett Regional High School supports communicative proficiency through the development of the four core language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—along with cultural awareness. The curriculum offers four years of study in French, German, and Spanish, aligning with the broader goals of the Wachusett District.
Students pursue proficiency in another language so that they may achieve purposeful and meaningful communication
Students develop an understanding of another culture that supports their positive interaction with diverse people.
Students understand the commonalities of language learning.
Students experience language learning that encourages spontaneity, risk-taking, and personal growth.
Students develop the language skills essential to understanding authentic materials such as newspapers, film, television, magazines, etc.
Our department is committed to ensuring that all students have access to high-quality, rigorous learning experiences aligned to state standards. These standards provide the foundation for our curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, guiding us in setting clear expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. By working collaboratively and aligning our practices to these standards, we can support student growth, close opportunity gaps, and prepare all learners for future success.
