Welcome to Jackson High School's World Language Department!

We are very proud to offer Chinese, French, and Spanish to our students. Our curriculum is tied to the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning and Ohio’s New Learning Standards: World Languages Grades 9-12.  We believe that when our students discover languages they discover the world!

Where will discovering languages take Jackson's students?
It can take them as far as they want to go. World language programs are more important than ever before. Research shows that language learning offers cognitive, academic, social, cultural and workplace benefits that last a lifetime. Let's increase global awareness and celebrate the power of language learning.
