"One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way." - Frank Smith
World Languages Department Mission Statement
The advantages of learning world languages are increasing as the world becomes gradually more globalized and interconnected. The ability to speak in other languages is now one of the most valuable and viable skills offered in schools. The World Languages Department in East Islip School District seeks to promote linguistic and cultural literacy while cultivating a life-long appreciation and enthusiasm for languages and the cultures they represent and reflect. We believe that all students can learn a new language with the right approach and the right mindset. We believe world language study is all about learning how to truly communicate and connect with others. When you reach fluency, you exercise the power of being deeply connected and the ability to think differently.
