Mission For The Class

The mission of all of our Foreign Language Programs in Holliston is one and 
the same: to produce citizens who can effectively communicate in more than 
one language while demonstrating cross-cultural understanding and tolerance 
of ideas and languages different from our own. By developing efffective 
curriculum standards in the areas of Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, 
Connections to other disciplines and Communities, we will ensure that our 
students meet the standards set forth in National, State and District 
documents. Increased literacy achievement in English is also a realistic 
outcome of effective second language instruction.
