World Languages

The World Language Program supports the mission statement of Perkins International Academy of Excellence by striving to educate our students to their highest level of linguistic potential so that they may become capable, creative and responsible members of the global society.World Language study in the Perkins International Academy of Excellence works to equip students linguistically and culturally to communicate and function in a "flat world" both as individuals and within a group.  World Language study develops an awareness of other people's views, an understanding of their unique ways of life and a recognition and respect for their diversity and contributions to the world at large.  Linguistic proficiency combined with cultural knowledge will enable students to interact in a variety of real-life situations.  Effective communication based on knowledge of language and cultures will be a key to success and prosperity.

World Language Learner Goal
All students will develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills which will allow them to communicate in languages other than English and to appreciate and understand other cultures.
