Welcome to Thomas Jefferson Foreign Language Department!
The Foreign Language Department offers Spanish and French language and culture classes. The courses are aligned with the National Foreign Language standards. Our curricula are also based on the Latest State and District Foreign Language Standards. The diversity of our faculty members help the students experience and learn different French and Spanish dialects and cultural approaches.
The French club and the Spanish Drama Club are available for those students who want a closer encounter with the Foreign Language studied.
