World Languages

Clayton County Public Schools’ World Languages Program is designed to meet the various needs of its diverse student body.  Students at many of the secondary schools have the opportunity to choose between French, Spanish, or Latin.

World Languages Mission Statement

To be able to communicate clearly is a valued goal of education; to be able to communicate with someone in another language is powerful.  Clayton County students who include world languages instruction as part of their curriculum will be prepared to speak with and understand others whose language is not English.  They will be able to read and write the language at an ability equal to the length of their study.   

It is the purpose of the Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) world languages program to provide performance-based language instruction to middle and high school students.  This statement of purpose, aligned to the standards and benchmarks set by the American Council on the Teaching of World Languages, is evident in these CCPS World Languages performance indicators.
