World Languages

Pingry offers courses of study in Chinese, French, Latin, and Spanish.

Pingry’s modern world language classes emphasize both oral and written communication, focusing on competence in speaking, listening, reading, writing, and cultural awareness. Upon completion of four years in our program, Pingry students will be able to engage in spoken and written discourse in their language of study, and they will have an in-depth, layered understanding of the culture(s) of origin. Our hope is that this cultural competence will lead to open minds, embracing perspectives which differ from their own.
