Sophomores and Juniors are invited to apply for the Governor’s World Language Academies for the Summer of 2026 in French, Spanish, German (full immersion), Japanese and Latin (partial immersion).
For a number of years, many Arlington students have been honored for their achievement in Foreign Language study by being selected to participate in these special summer enrichment programs. These residential academies offer a 3-week program of total immersion or partial immersion in the target language, taught by outstanding faculties. The programs include classes in the language and its culture in a full schedule of recreational activities.
If you would like to be considered for nomination, please fill out the Preliminary application google form and submit it by Friday November 14th, 2025. Don’t forget you need to be approved by your World Language Teacher as well as another teacher.
Any questions please contact the World Languages Department Chair, Ms. Baird ([email protected]) in Room 3214.
Participants for all the academies are selected by a panel on a competitive basis.
For more information about the program, location and dates for summer 2026, please visit the VDOE website.
