What is the Seal of Biliteracy?

Seal of Biliteracy
  • The Seal of Biliteracy will recognize students who are fluent in two or more languages. 

     

    Seniors whose first language is not English and have a 3.0 GPA or above in English 2 or have scored a 4.0 or higher on the ACCESS test, or students who demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language other than English as demonstrated on the STAMP4s or the AAPPL (both tests are available to take at home) are eligible to apply for the Seal of Biliteracy.
