Calvert Students Score High on National World Language Exams, Earning 120+ Awards

World language instruction is a critical piece of the Calvert curriculum, and throughout their time on campus, students continually excel in French, Spanish, and Latin in the care of expert teachers. This is never more evident than each spring, when students receive their scores from the national world language exams.

Taken every year, these exams include Le Grand Concours – the National French Contest – The National Spanish Challenge, the National Spanish Exam, and the National Latin Exam. This year, students across both Spanish and French classes earned more than 120 awards for their prowess while Latin students rounded out an impressive year with high marks of their own.
