World Language
All students are encouraged to have exposure to World Language during their time at Glenfield.  World Language classes are optional during the elective period where a student's schedule allows for it.  Students can opt to take a World Language or another period of electives.  Students may continue on the 3 year World Language course sequence for French, Mandarin or Spanish; once selected, students must remain on the same 3 year World Language sequence. These language courses take place on A & B days for the full year. In an effort to diversify our offerings, we also offer a semester-based World Language & Culture class.  Please see our Course Catalog for descriptions
