Welcome to the World Languages Department! Western High School is excited to offer a variety of languages for students interested in learning about various cultures, the importance of becoming a global citizen, and meeting the A-G requirements. We are the only school in the district that offers four languages: Arabic, French, Japanese and Spanish.

The study of languages is receiving increased emphasis in today's world of international communication, jet-age travel, and the need for understanding our "neighbors" throughout the world. The World Languages Department offers courses designed to meet both college entrance requirements and the interests and needs of all students. In the sequential courses, spoken communication is given major emphasis. Reading and writing are emphasized at the intermediate and advanced levels. Since language must not be separated from the culture and customs of the people who use it, all language courses will cover the history, civilization, and customs of the people who speak it.
