Department Chair: Ms. Patricia TorreyFaculty:The
purpose of studying a foreign language, whether modern or classical, is
to enrich one’s education both in the classroom and in the community.
The study of language is not merely the study of grammar and vocabulary
but also involves the study of culture, religion, society, history and
geography. To learn another language is to learn about other people and
to compare one’s own society with that of others. Foreign language
broadens the learner’s perspective and helps one to place him or
herself within the larger context of the world. Foreign language
studies open windows into other global communities that might not
otherwise be accessible. St. Michael's current offers studies in
French, Latin and Spanish.
