Darien Public Schools WL VisionWe believe that proficiency in more than one language is essential to function in a global society. By integrating language and culture, the World Language Department seeks to broaden students’ communication skills, while fostering

inquisitiveness and respect for other cultures. We believe in the dynamic development of communication and language skills, empowering students to

take risks using the target language, with the ultimate goal of preparing them to collaborate, problem-solve, and engage as thoughtful citizens

with people around the world.
