爱游戏下载 High School Language Program Impact

Our program curricula align with U.S. high school learning goals of world language proficiency, global competence, and college readiness. The average language growth for 爱游戏下载 students in a 4-week Language & Culture program approaches or exceeds the national average growth* that students achieve in 1 year of a high school world language course**:

Average Growth in World Language Proficiency

*National averages derived by Avant from high school language proficiency assessments administered nationally in 2018鈥2023
**Since students at earlier stages of language proficiency make greater gains more quickly than students at more advanced stages, it is not appropriate to compare percentage growth across languages. For example, 66% of the 2022 Italian students were at the beginning level, while only 15% of those in the Spanish courses were beginners. Arabic results are not included due to an insufficient number of matched cases.
