Language

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School offers instruction in three languages - French, Latin, and Spanish. Each student must take three years of a single language while at Good Counsel. Many graduates will leave us on level 4, 5, or 6, because of family or immersion experience or previous school programs. At Good Counsel High School, competence in other tongues and knowledge of diverse cultures are expectations, not just ideals.

Enthusiastic students are offered honors work in all three languages. Advanced students have the opportunity to apply for the International Baccalaureate diploma program and to prepare for College Board Advanced Placement testing. We have been quite pleased with the work of IB candidates and the new directions afforded by this association which challenges students to be assessed by international standards. Meeting these guidelines has benefited all students.
