World Language courses are a requirement for entrance into most colleges and universities. 

In French and Spanish classes, homework, practice, and assessments include the four skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening as well as the culture studied in the course.  French and Spanish are spoken in the classroom to introduce and practice oral patterns in the beginning levels and later as the language of communication.

Materials for French and Spanish classes may include textbooks, workbooks, literature, software, videos, the Internet, MP3 players, and other technology. 
All classes labeled Pre-IB/IB include the prerequisite of acceptance into the Pre-International Baccalaureate Program.
