Sunny Hills High School

The Sunny Hills' World Language Department is composed of 12 teachers that teach four languages. Our department offers the choices of Chinese, German, Korean, and Spanish as a world language option.

Sunny Hills encourages our students to stick with their language so that they might receive the California Biliteracy Seal on their high school diploma. The seal is given to students who take a world language for four years and receive a B average grade or better for their world language courses while maintaining a minimum of a B average in their English classes. Those students who have more ability in a world language might also attain the Biliteracy Seal by passing an International Baccalaureate or Advance Placement exam in their junior year of high school, removing the need to take four physical years of a language.

Our classes are designed to help students acquire a language while also learning about and experiencing the culture of the language that they study. Our hope is that our students get a strong language foundation from our courses and that they might continue to pursue fluency in their chosen world language even after their years at Sunny Hills.

Our department hopes your students make learning a world language one of their high school goals and get that Biliteracy Seal along the way!!!
