World Languages Department

Assabet Valley recognizes the importance of offering world languages to its students. Spanish and Portuguese are languages currently offered at Assabet in anticipation of future world language requirements specified by the state for high school graduation. Students who are interested in entering a four-year college will also have achieved the foundation required by many colleges.

The ability to communicate with others is of vital importance in the world today. As international business and travel expand, they bring an increased need and opportunity to interact with people from other cultures.

Not only must students develop an ability to communicate with people in Spanish and Portuguese languages, but also they must develop an understanding and appreciation of the variety of cultures in Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries to compete in a global society. By teaching world languages, we prepare our students to become productive citizens of our democratic society and of the world.
