Seal of Biliteracy
The Seal of Biliteracy is an award on a diploma at graduation from high school for those that demonstrate academic proficiency in English and at least one other language.
The purpose of the Seal of Biliteracy is to:
- Acknowledge and certify attainment of biliteracy skills;
- Prepare students with 21st century skills that will benefit them in the labor market and the global society
- Provide employers with a method of identifying people with language and biliteracy skills
- Provide universities, grants and scholarships with a method to recognize and give credit to applicants for their dedication to attainment of high level skills in 2 or more language
