World Languages

The World Languages Department is proud to announce the 9th year of the Middle School Program that offers high school credit to 8th grade Spanish students in Henry County Schools. Currently, Spanish is offered to students at nine middle schools in the district and Impact Academy. The goal of the World Languages Middle School Curriculum is to develop Georgia language learners that possess strong Interpersonal Communication, Presentational Speaking, Presentational Writing, Interpretive Listening, and Interpretive Reading skills in the areas of "Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities." Georgia language learners will be able to apply the World Languages skills acquired beyond the instructional setting in order "to bring a global competence to their future careers and experiences."  The Middle School World Languages Program was developed in alignment to the Georgia Department of Education recommendation for Middle School World Languages Programs and follows the ACTFL World Readiness Standards that align with the World Languages Georgia Performance Standards.
