Department+Philosophy

=Please put in here what you think our department philosophy should include.= This is the current philosophy statement:

"The Foreign Language Department is committed to providing a structured, supportive learning environment where students of diverse needs and strengths can acquire communication skills, habits of active learning, and cultural perspective in preparation for college and for personal and professional opportunities beyond their formal education. To support this commitment, the Department affirms the need for differentiated instruction and the use of technology where appropriate. To meet Christchurch graduation requirements students must successfully complete a minimum of two years of course work in a single language. Spanish and French are offered through the Honors (fifth year) level. The faculty encourages able students to continue foreign language studies throughout their high school years."
