English and World Languages
English
Communication is a gift from God. FVL’s English/Language Arts curriculum will seek to develop growing Christians who are able to clearly comprehend, speak, write, and present the stories of their God and their Christian lives. In addition, the FVL English curriculum aims to develop discerning thinkers who are lifelong learners able to critically analyze and evaluate ideas they encounter in today’s array of media.
Requirements
- 4 credits required for graduation
- 4 credits required for college admission
World Languages
The world God created is vast and diverse! World Languages allows students opportunities to learn about new cultures and the world around them. FVL offers classes in three world languages: German, Latin, and Spanish. Many colleges and universities strongly recommend that students have at least two years of the same world language in high school. A good performance in a world language is often a good measurement for future success at college.
- World Languages are not required to graduate. Credits earned in World Languages apply toward elective credits.
- World Languages are strongly recommended for students planning on going to college.
