World Languages Ancient & Modernhome

COHS is proud to be the only school in Western New York, and one of only a handful in New York State, to offer courses in the study of Greek, which combined with coursework in Spanish and Latin, makes up the curriculum for the Department of World Languages Ancient & Modern. The department adheres to New York State regents requirements, which include two (2) years of one (1) language (Spanish or Latin). For the regents diploma with advanced designation, three (3) years of studying one (1) language are required, in addition to a passing the regents comprehensive examination. 

Department of World Languages Ancient & Modern Goals:

  1. To meet the principal's standards of 90% passing rate in Regents Exams and 30% mastery level.
  2. To extricate the notion that "foreign" means "un-American," and
  3. That no student should merely take a second language, but rather actually have one.
