DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The World Languages Department believes in order to excell in the multicultural milieu of the Twenty-First century America, an aspiring leader must have knowledge and comprehension of multiple languages. It is our role within the Academy to expose students to the skills necessary to become effective communicators in any area of society. We further believe that the aquisition of a second language opens the heart and mind of a person and instills respect and sensitivity for other cultures. Respect and tolerance should be the cornerstone of a Christ centered foundation. We expect all Academy students to reflect this philosophy and be enthusiastic learners of whichever language they study.
