Global Seal of Biliteracy

The Global Seal of Biliteracy is a prestigious international credential that honors individuals who demonstrate proficiency in two or more languages. This distinction allows educational institutions worldwide to formally recognize a student’s multilingual abilities, opening doors to scholarships, academic advancement and career opportunities.

Bolles is proud to extend this distinguished recognition to upperclassmen enrolled in our World Languages programs. Those studying Arabic, Chinese, French, Latin and Spanish can apply at the end of their junior year for the Global Seal to receive acknowledgment for their linguistic achievements based on scores on the AAPPL exam or the AP Language Exam.
