World Languages

World language programs in Jeffco Public Schools invite students to explore the world and their place in it through the study of languages and cultures. Jeffco offers courses in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin and Spanish. Jeffco also offers Spanish for Heritage Speakers to honor and support the development and maintenance of heritage language.

Jeffco strives to educate students to become communicatively proficient and globally competent in languages other than English with a curriculum aligned to national standards. Students will have opportunities to use their cultural and linguistic knowledge outside of the classroom, with travel, cultural events, performances and competitions.

Bear Creek High School offers students a wonderful world language experience. Students can choose to study a variety of languages: Spanish, French, German and Japanese. Our teachers work with the students so they have the necessary skills to communicate effectively in the target language.

The different cultural activities provided inspire many students’ love for the language. Currently, students can enroll in AP Spanish and AP French. The majority of the students who complete the course perform well on the AP exam.
