Last updated June 20, 2005
As of June 2005, the Everett School District schools only offer
Spanish, German, and French. There are no Asian language offerings in
our district. In the 2006/2007 school year, the College Board will have
3 new official language and culture courses: AP Chinese, AP Japanese,
and AP Russian. In 2004, we asked Everett School District
administrators to please start offering beginning Asian language
courses (e.g.
Japanese 101 to start with) and then work up to the AP level courses.
Hopefully, in the next few years, one or more Asian languages courses
will be offered in our district.
In the mean time current students need alternatives. This page serves as a resource for students and parents on possible options.
