Middle & High School Language Courses

Courses We Offer
We are pleased to offer language courses for high school students in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Latin, and Portuguese. Our courses are taught by certified language teachers using the ACTFL proficiency model as our guide for evaluation. Proficiency is defined as what a speaker can produce spontaneously and unrehearsed in the target language. Based on the ACTFL proficiency model, our courses are broken into four different levels:

- Novice Mid - Novice High
- Intermediate Low - Intermediate Mid
- Intermediate High - Advanced Low
