The World Language Program in Lexington District One enables students to use oral and written language for meaningful and culturally appropriate communication in the situations they are most likely to encounter in more than one language.
Our K–12 program helps students appreciate linguistic and cultural diversity and the contributions of other cultures. Students acquire the language, knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for effective participation in a global environment that is connected economically, socially, and politically.
It is important to introduce foreign languages to our students at an early age. We are pleased to offer an expanding number of languages to our elementary school students. Between our Elementary Spanish and Partial Immersion programs, we offer the following languages to students:
Students previously enrolled in the Partial Immersion program at the elementary school level can continue their studies through the PASSPORT program.
