追求全球流利始于我们全校对语言习得的强调. (“We teach” my personal preference is to focus on what the students do i.e. 学习/收购, or “MV provides instruction”, which is what we said below…I have to think a little more) both Spanish and Chinese, with Spanish being introduced to students as early as Pre-Kindergarten (年龄 3). 除了 to the classroom experience, students make connections with communities both locally and beyond our borders, 无论是通过国内集训或与危地马拉笔友的友谊，还是与厄瓜多尔一所学校的学生交换.

该系及其六名教师的使命是教育学生成为精通沟通和知情的全球公民. Based upon our langu年龄转移 goals, MV students will learn to communicate in langu年龄s other than 英语; gain knowledge and understanding of other cultures; develop insight into the nature of langu年龄 and culture; connect with other disciplines; and participate in multilingual communities at home and around the world.

The department provides instruction in the four langu年龄 acquisition skills: listening, 说话, 阅读, 和写作. Throughout the Lower and 中学 grades, 学生们开始探索西班牙语作为一个“特殊班”，并可以在以后的年级每天学习西班牙语. Once in the 上学校 (starting with grade 9), 学生必须完成至少两年的世界语言(西班牙语或汉语)才能毕业. 我们强烈鼓励感兴趣的学生在高中期间进行语言学习，并考虑申请俄亥俄州双语证书. 选择攻读全球mg冰球突破试玩证书的学生必须完成四年的语言学习.

学生也有机会通过星座学习其他语言, an online platform.

双语交流要求学生具有阅读和写作另一种语言的能力，以及听和理解(或说/手语)第二语言的能力. 学生必须有能力在非排练的语境和现实生活中使用文化上合适的语言进行自发的交流. Because langu年龄能力 is not static and deteriorates over time, especially if the student is not actively using or learning the langu年龄, 证明熟练程度的测试窗口只在预期毕业日期前15个月开放.
