World Languages

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the World Languages Department at San Ysidro High School is to provide all students with the foundations to become bilingual, biliterate and to adopt a global mindset. We strive for all students to achieve literacy and proficiency in interpersonal speaking skills in another language. Students will become culturally knowledgeable about and competent in different contexts and will further explore and grow their language abilities outside of SYH, whether in the U.S. or abroad. We will inspire our students to become lifelong language learners so that they may be 21st Century-ready and use their skills in their future professional and personal lives. Most importantly, we want to arm our students with cultural sensitivity and a global perspective so they may use their language skills to create change where it matters most to them.
