The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Multilingual Education Department has awarded a first-time Heritage Language Program Grant to Wenatchee Public Schools in Wenatchee, WA, to offer a year-long remote-learning program for Heritage Language speakers of Romanian, Russian, and Spanish. The project will support the students to develop their language proficiency and literacy in their Heritage Language while also preparing a portfolio for the Global Competence Certificate in the Heritage Language (and English too, if they like) through the World Affairs Council in Seattle. Upon completion of the program, students will also have the opportunity to complete World Language Competency-Based Credit testing to earn high school credits in their language and potentially qualify for the Washington State Seal of Biliteracy. They may also qualify for the Global Seal of Biliteracy

Because of the state grant funding through OSPI Multilingual Education, this program is only open to students attending public high schools in Washington State.
