Félicitations! Felicidades! Congratulations!

FWCD students earned recognition for their outstanding performances on the French, Latin and Spanish National Language Exams. FWCD is proud to celebrate their hard work, dedication and love of learning.

“Congratulations to our French, Latin and Spanish students who earned national recognition for excellent performances on their exams and contests this past May,” said Alison Robinson, Chair of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Upper School Spanish Teacher. “Our Upper School students won a total of 26 gold, 43 silver, and 17 bronze medals. Earning a medal on these national exams is a prestigious and exceptional feat. About 230,000 students take these assessments, and our students consistently score well above the national average. This year was no exception. All of FWCD’s Modern and Classical Language Teachers are immensely proud of their students’ hard work, dedication, and impressive achievements!”
