Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of World Languages and Culture is to facilitate a learning process that allows students to gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures while moving students along the language learning continuum as laid out in the California Standards for the teaching of World Languages. Our mission is to foster a love for the learning of languages and about cultures that will continue beyond high school. Our department serves both second language learners and Native Speakers by offering both a second language learner track for French, Spanish and Mandarin, as well as a native speaker track for speakers of Mandarin and Spanish.
