The foundational philosophy of the World Language courses is that language, 讨论, 反射, 和 imagination lead to the development of skills which help students underst和 和 interpret the human experience.
The curriculum requires that students develop a personal consciousness or an active sense of civic duty through the acquisition 和 employment of language; the ability to underst和 the human experience outside of one’s own individual social 和 cultural context allows students to develop a conscience more suited to the multicultural world in which they live.
Students have the choice to pursue one of two languages at The Academy: 法国 和 西班牙语. AP 法国 和 西班牙语 are offered to fourth-year students upon the approval of their instructor.
