In a world of cultural diversity, intelligent communication is essential to understanding and cooperation. Knowledge of another language is an important tool in this communication, both globally and within our own diverse society.
Knowing a second language results in opportunities to participate in the international job market as translators, teachers, secretaries, sales representatives, accountants, lawyers, members of the Foreign Service, etc. As countries interact and exchange goods, services and culture, the opportunities are limitless.
Students are placed into the world language program based on their language proficiency score taken from the initial placement test and their language performance while at Hoban.
Language students participate in national competitions;
