The Modern and Classical Languages Department offers three languages to our students: French, Spanish, and Latin. We are a department dedicated to teaching the four skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. We are also dedicated to teaching about the cultures that are represented by our languages in order to broaden our students’ horizons and their understanding of the world in which we live.

•Context is a factor of appropriate use of language.
•Effective communication can be both verbal and non-verbal, influenced by cultural norms.
•Meaning can be made with limited language skills.
•Second language acquisition deepens understanding of one’s own language and culture.
•Fluent communication includes correctly manipulating grammar and syntax.
•Reading comprehension requires denotative and connotative understanding of a language.
•Modern and classical language learners become global citizens through understanding other cultures and                      their histories.
