provide an adaptive and challenging learning environment that meets the needs of
students in an emerging global community, and prepares them for excellence in
education and the workplace, while cultivating integrity, responsibility and a
sustained passion for continued learning.
World Language Department Connection to Mission Statement
The study of another language prepares students linguistically and culturally to communicate in
a pluralistic American and global society. The study of a world culture enables students to look
beyond their customary borders and to develop insight into their own language and culture.
Analytical thinking skills are developed through the implementation of performance-
based common tasks.
