The Berlin World Language department motivates and inspires students to recognize the personal value and global benefit of learning languages. We create an environment that fosters students to take risks and communicate with confidence in and out of the classroom. Our goal is to ignite a passion in students to continuously develop language and intercultural proficiency. The performance targets established for each course align with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language’s levels of language proficiency. Students will begin their language program at the Novice level with the goal of acquiring Intermediate or Advanced level proficiency upon graduation.
