​The world language program in SCS focuses on using languages in real-world situations.  Students learn language that prepares them to communicate with others through oral language, print, and media.  Although students will need to know vocabulary, grammar, and cultural information, they learn them in order to use them purposefully for communication with others.  This emphasis on communication aligns the SCS curriculum with state and national standards.

At each level of world language instruction, students expand the topics on which they are able to communicate, the ways in which they are able to express themselves and understand others, and the sophistication with which they can express ideas.  Student understanding of other cultures, ability to behave in culturally acceptable ways, and to recognize the relationships between language and culture grow with each unit, year, and level of world language study.
