Bellarmine is proud to announce that 25 students have been awarded the prestigious Global Seal of Biliteracy, an international language certificate that recognizes and celebrates their level of proficiency in two or more languages.
The Global Seal of Biliteracy validates language skills and expands future opportunities for its recipients. It serves a meaningful purpose in our increasingly diverse and interconnected world. Available in over 100 languages, the Global Seal of Biliteracy has been issued in over 30 countries and five continents.
Students earn the Global Seal through a rigorous exam that evaluates not only the ability to speak another language, but to read and write in another language at a level that requires analytical thinking and academic discourse. Students earning a passing score on a World Language AP Exam qualify for the Global Seal. Other qualifying tests are offered to eligible Bellarmine students not enrolled in an AP Language class.
The Global Seal of Biliteracy is more than just a certification; it is a passport to opportunity. It allows recipients to showcase their language skills to any school or employer across state lines and international borders. In today's global economy, proficiency in multiple languages has tremendous value, and employers want candidates whose skills are verifiable and comparable.
We congratulate our students on this significant achievement and look forward to seeing the opportunities that their Global Seal of Biliteracy will bring them in the future.
