Welcome to World Languages!

Chandler Unified School District provides opportunities for students to learn a new language by the time they graduate high school.  We offer American Sign Language, French, German, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish from level I to AP and IB courses.  Our students have the opportunity to earn college credits by taking dual enrollment courses and/or passing the AP or IB assessments. In addition, students attending Chandler High School can earn an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Our goal is to provide a pathway for students to reach a high level of proficiency in any of the languages we offer.  Our department is committed to preparing all students with competitive language skills needed in a rapidly evolving interconnected multilingual society.   We are proud to award the Arizona Seal of Biliteracy to all students who complete all requirements within their high school years.
