CA State Seal of Biliteracy
Recognizing the Power of Language: 2025 Seal of Biliteracy Numbers
World Languages
San Diego Unified School District is committed to providing language opportunities for all students. The District recognizes that in addition to being academically prepared and fully proficient in English, all students benefit from being proficient in another language. The geographic location of San Diego, as well as the diversity of the District's student population, makes the study of languages that much more important. In support of this, the District has made language learning opportunities available to all students through a variety of K-12 pathways which include:
-
Biliteracy Programs
-
Language Immersion and Dual Language Immersion Programs
-
Language Enrichment Programs
-
World Language programs and courses beginning in 7th grade per secondary school offerings.
Beginning with the Class of 2016, SDUSD students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in English and a language other than English.
The district currently offers world language programs and courses in 9 languages.
Graduation credit may be granted for coursework taken at District-approved independent world language schools outside the regular school day or school year.
This scholarship supports graduating seniors who have earned or will be earning the Seal of Biliteracy on their high school diploma and will be attending a college or university in the Fall 2025
