Hartford Public Schools’ world language vision is that every student participate with cultural competence in a global economy and pluralistic society through the attainment of high levels of proficiency in at least one language in addition to English.  Our vision is grounded in the belief that:

• All students can become multi-lingual/multi-literate

• Students will engage in globally transformative experiences through language learning

• Acquisition of more than one language leads to cognitive, academic, economic, health, and social benefits, and supports 21st century skills

• Acquisition of more than one language is an essential component of a world-class education/experience, and is critical to students’ college, career, and world readiness

Our mission is to provide a world-class language education:

• Through the integration of communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities

• Through the meaningful integration of appropriate technology into teaching and learning

• By leveraging the linguistic diversity of school communities to enrich language programs

• By leveraging institutions of higher education and various other resources to strengthen language programs and provide diverse, authentic learning experiences

• Spanish

• French

• Mandarin

• Latin
