"A person who knows two languages is worth two people."

The Department of Foreign Languages offers a wide array of courses from the first year of language study through Advanced Placement in French and Spanish. All courses are aligned with the Massachusetts Frameworks in Foreign Language Study and develop proficiency in Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Connections, and Communities. Whenever possible, courses are offered at four distinct levels to best meet students' abilities.

Advantages of foreign language study:

- Understand other cultures and peoples

- Communicate well in other languages and better in your native tongue

- Improve critical thinking skills and mental flexibility

- Enhance career options
