At Atmosphere, we offer World Language courses in the following languages: Spanish, French, and Mandarin. All language classes offer a mix of instruction in language acquisition and use alongside cultural awareness raising and appreciation. Students will be given opportunities to prepare for the LOTE (Language Other Than English) exam in their junior year, a test that contributes to the acquisition of the Advanced Regents diploma upon graduation. In class, students will learn through a mixture of traditional language instruction, comprehensible input, and exposure to music and artistic traditions from the national homes of each target language. Atmosphere World Language courses empower our students to learn the valuable skill of bilingualism (or trilingualism) and to broaden their global perspective.
