All students are encouraged to investigate the area of foreign language study. The offerings at the Middle Schools include French, German, and Spanish. They are designed to make foreign language an enjoyable living experience, to develop international interest and understanding, to provide a useful communication tool and thereby distinguish the student in a competitive job market, and to aid the student to better use and understand English. The foreign language student is expected to complete a full year of the course and is encouraged to continue study of that language as long as possible in order to develop skills to a workable level. Some post-secondary schools require at least two years of foreign language for entrance and possibly more semesters before graduation from college. The courses are, however, for all interested students.
