Seal of Biliteracy
The fall testing dates for the Seal of Biliteracy for the Class of 2024 are Saturday, Sept. 30, at Hinsdale Central and Saturday, Oct. 7, at Hinsdale South, and at both schools on Wednesday, Oct. 11, for students who have conflicts with the Saturday testing dates or who need bus transportation.. The link to register can be found by clicking here.
What languages are available for testing on the above dates?
Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
What if the language I speak is not listed above?
Any seniors who speak any languages at home other than those listed above will be contacted later in the year by the World Language Department Chairs to arrange for alternative testing. (Central-Jay Lawrence and South-Sarah Lombard).
What if I've already taken the AP exam for my language?
Students who earn a 4 or 5 on their world language AP exam in Spring of 2023 automatically qualify for the Seal if they have at least a 480 on the SAT EBRW for English and therefore do not need to take the Saturday Seal of Biliteracy exam.
Please read below about the Seal of Biliteracy program as well as access preparation information in the linked handout.
