COURSE OFFERINGS: World Languages WORLD LANGUAGES To meet the graduation requirement in world languages, students must complete through the intermediate level or higher of a language at NCSSM. Students who wish to enroll in the intermediate level or higher of French or Spanish in the junior year are required to take a placement test in that language prior to enrolling in the course. Placement for the intermediate level or higher of Chinese, Japanese, or Latin is based upon an intake form and the student’s previous study of the language. Students who begin a new language in the junior year must continue that language in the senior year, regardless of prior world language credits. Unless exempted (see Graduation Requirements and Exemption Criteria), every student must complete three units of world language during the junior year. Students who qualify to exempt the NCSSM World Language requirement are not required to take additional language courses at NCSSM. Level one and advanced level offerings depend upon student interest and staff availability. 37
