Overview

  • Our World Languages Department provides services and language instruction to all our students in both the ELL and General Ed. population. The programs offer instruction  in Arabic, French, Spanish and Mandarin languages.

    The New Jersey Department of Education State Seal of Biliteracy identifies graduating high school students who are able to demonstrate proficiency in English in addition to one or more world languages.  The State Seal of Biliteracy certifies that a high school graduate has:

    • 1. Demonstrated proficiency in English by meeting English language arts graduation requirements or attaining the appropriate cut score on the ACCESS for ELLs assessment (for English Language Learners); and
    • 2. Demonstrated a linguistic proficiency level of at least Intermediate Mid according to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Proficiency Guidelines, or demonstrated a level deemed equivalent to Intermediate Mid for languages such as American Sign Language or Native American languages.
