World Language Programs
FCPS empowers students to become empathetic global citizens and lifelong learners by fostering multilingual proficiency, cultural responsiveness, and cross-cultural communication.
Research supports the positive impact of biliteracy on cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and success in higher education. Studies show that multilingualism enhances memory, attention span, and multitasking skills while also slowing cognitive decline and boosting creativity.
We recognize the importance of preparing students to compete in an increasingly multicultural and global community. To be successful, Kentuckians must enter the workforce with expanded cultural horizons and increased communication skills.
We offer students the opportunity to learn classical and modern languages such as:
- French
- German
- Latin
- Spanish
- Chinese
- Japanese
These courses are structured as year-long classes. In the process, students learn to communicate with others and develop insight into their own language and culture.
FCPS encourages students to pursue language studies to enhance college readiness!
