 The Somerville Public Schools, along with The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, is devoted to helping young people build 21st century skills through a variety of initiatives. One theme focuses on the understanding of other nations and cultures, including the use of non-English languages. Our foreign language program is built on one of the greatest strengths of our community - the cultural and linguistic diversity of our students and their families. The Foreign Language Department, led by Jane Cummings, endorses the research that shows that students who learn another language reach higher academic performance, display greater cognitive benefits, and develop a more positive attitude toward the target language and the speakers of that language. |
