World Language Department

The mission of the Frassati Catholic High School World Language Department is to help students grow into an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultural expressions through the study of French and Spanish language and culture. The goal for each student is to develop proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking  of French or Spanish.  Students with previous language study in French or Spanish take a placement test  in order to be placed in the appropriate level.  AP French and Spanish are offered to students who have completed required courses (French III or Spanish IV) and emphasize attaining the level of fluency necessary to succeed in a French or Spanish-speaking environment. 

The goal of the World Language Department is for each student to develop proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking in a modern French or Spanish.  The students have an opportunity to take four years of language at the high school level, even if they have placed out of the initial level course in their chosen language based on their experience in their pre-high school coursework. AP courses are given in all three languages to eligible students.
