Mission:
Our mission is to provide language learning within cultural contexts. The study of languages and cultures enriches students’ lives by allowing them to explore different world views and concepts through immersion experiences in the classroom, community and abroad. In the global market, proficiency in languages and knowledge of diverse cultures also creates greater potential for career opportunities. As part of its mission, the Department of Languages:
  • teaches American Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish, from beginning to various levels of proficiency
  • deepens students' understanding of cultural diversity
  • encourages students to study abroad
  • works with local, national, and international organizations, including the Anchorage School District, the Alaska Court System, and governmental and nonprofit organizations.
