World Languages Department
The World Language Department of Central Catholic High School connects our community to other places, countries and cultures. Students are immersed in different cultures while introducing and sustaining conversation, reading, listening, and writing skills in languages other than English. Students learn languages and about related cultures to cultivate the spiritual, ethical, social, and intellectual qualities essential for leadership in a rapidly changing global community while remaining rooted in the principles established by their Catholic education.
Students who would like to start their language program at Central Catholic at a level beyond the first year must take a challenge test to determine appropriate placement. Students are required to take two sequential years of a world language to graduate from Central Catholic High School.
Because of some college and university standards, students are encouraged to take two years of the same language. Teachers work to immerse students in the world language they are studying, even in entry-level courses. By the time students are in the third year of a language, courses are conducted almost exclusively in the target language."
