World Languages

For students who speak English in their homes, VASD offers robust World Language programs. Incoming kindergarteners may apply to the Verona Area International School (VAIS) and have the opportunity for immersion education in Mandarin Chinese for half of their school day. VAIS students may continue their language development through Mandarin courses at Badger Ridge Middle School and VAHS. 

Starting in 7th grade, students can take world languages courses. High school students may take Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin. They are encouraged to continue to higher levels of language for the opportunity to earn up to 17 college credits through the dual credit program with the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. The credits are transferable to universities within the UW system and other universities.
