The Missouri Seal of Biliteracy Program honors the achievements of graduating seniors who are able to demonstrate proficiency in two or more languages. It symbolizes the hard work and dedication required to develop language proficiency and global competency. The Missouri award exists in two levels: Seal of Biliteracy and Distinguished Seal of Biliteracy depending on the proficiency level demonstrated by the student. The Missouri Seal is printed on the electronic transcript and students are recognized at the senior awards program and graduation.  

The Global Seal of Biliteracy enables recipients to showcase their language skills to any school or employer across state lines and national borders, with a unique serial-numbered document. Benefits to earning the Global Seal and out-of-state universities that award college credit. 

Once a student has met the requirements for the Missouri Seal of Biliteracy, they are then eligible to be awarded the Missouri and Global Seal of Biliteracy.

Earning the Seal(s) has multiple benefits for students:

• Provides employers with a method of identifying people with language and biliteracy skills. 

• Provides universities with evidence of attainment of high-level skills in multiple languages.

• Potential to receive college credit (check with your prospective university to see if it offers credit and/or will be offering it).

• Prepares students with 21st century skills that will benefit them in the labor market and global society.

• Honors the multiple cultures and languages in our community.
