The world is full of languages. How far do you have to go to know that this is true? Think about how many more people and places you could really get to know, books and newspapers you could read, movies and TV programs you could understand, websites you could visit with another language! Also, no matter what career you choose, if you learn a second language, you will have a real advantage. Three years of language study on your record will catch the eye of anyone reading your job or college application.Back to Top
Is it true that studying a second language can improve test scores?
Yes, research has shown that math and verbal SAT scores climb higher with each additional year of language study, which means that the longer you study a language, the stronger your skills become to succeed in school. Studying a foreign language can improve your analytic and interpretative capacities. Learning another language will improve your chances for success in school and in your career.Back to Top
How many years of foreign language study do I need ?
To earn a Pendleton School diploma, a student must have three years of foreign language study. If a student plans to graduate from another school, he must check the courses needed at that school for graduation.Back to Top
