Welcome to our High School World Language page. We are proud to offer our POB community a robust and challenging world language program. We teach American Sign Language, Mandarin Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish. 

All students enrolled in a level 3 world language class take the Checkpoint B examination in June. Successful completion of the Checkpoint B examination gives students access to the Advanced Regents diploma. 

Students can earn college credit in our level 5 classes in one of two ways. Students can elect to take AP Chinese, French, Italian or Spanish and take the AP examination in May. Students can earn up to 6 college credits by successful completion of the AP examination. We offer college credit through our partnership with Adelphi University's College Credit Advantage Program in American Sign Language, French and Spanish. 

A hallmark of our program is our World Language Honor Society. Each language has its own honor society. Our honor society students take part in a variety of after-school and community service activities. An important activity is offering after-school tutoring to students across the district!
