All AAPS students have the opportunity to enroll in a language sequence offered: American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Latin, and Spanish.
In these classes, students acquire language proficiency and develop the skills defined in the National Standards for Foreign Language Education: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons and Communities. AAPS students collaborate and perform a variety of tasks in which they use the target language in real-life, authentic situations supported by technology.
AAPS provides graduating seniors with the opportunity to earn the Seal of Biliteracy.
The Michigan Seal of Biliteracy is an award presented to students who have demonstrated proficiency in English and at least one other world language by high school graduation. The language skills of students who complete extended sequences of world language study as well as those whose native language is other than English will be recognized by the MDE.
