Robin M. Throne, Supervisor Welcome to the Modern Languages and ESL website. We offer four languages in the Middle School and five languages in the High School. In addition, we offer English As A Second Language to our English Language Learners. Students in the Middle School generally take FLEX in grade 6. They then choose a language for their course of study from grades 8-12. We offer French, German, Italian and Spanish. For those students whose schedule cannot accommodate FLEX in grade 6, we offer FLEX 7. This course provides 10 weeks each of Spanish and Italian on an alternate day basis. We strongly encourage all students to complete a three-year sequence in their language of choice and to pass the New York State Regents Examination. We offer Spanish I and Italian I at the High School for students who either need to complete Checkpoint A or who wish to learn an additional language other than English. In September, 2007, we introduced Mandarin Chinese I. This course is open to students in grades 11 or 12 who have taken a three-year sequence in another language and who have passed the Regents Examination.
