The World Languages Department at Hempfield School District offers Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. Students can begin their language studies in eighth grade with German, French, or Spanish and have access to all four language options at the high school level.

Throughout their language studies, students are prepared for real-world scenarios where communication in another language is essential. They gain an understanding of the importance of learning a new language and how it can positively impact their future opportunities.

Our passionate and dedicated teachers excel at “bringing language to life,” creating rigorous and meaningful learning experiences for students. The department offers a variety of courses, including Advanced Placement, History and Culture through Film, and Civilization courses, providing diverse opportunities to deepen students' language and cultural knowledge.
