How to Implement the Global Seal of Biliteracy
for Home Schools
The Global Seal of Biliteracy™ is excited to offer this credential to students in home school programs. The Global Seal credentials language learners for workplace-ready skills in two or more languages as demonstrated through externally validated testing. Available in over 100 languages, the Global Seal of Biliteracy™ is awarded at the Functional Fluency™, Working Fluency™ and Professional Fluency™ levels. Inspired by the high school state Seal of Biliteracy movement, it offers an opportunity to certify language skills no matter how, or where, they were acquired. Many state Seal programs exclude home school programs thus disenfranchising these students from the recognition and advanced college placement opportunities afforded to state Seal recipients.
The Global Seal changes that and offers language credentials at no charge (cost of testing not included) and provides an inclusive opportunity for language users of any age or from any school type to be credentialed for language skills. Because the main goals of the Global Seal are accessibility and opportunity, we invite homeschooled students to apply and test for the Global Seal of Biliteracy as an individual. Homeschool co-ops can apply for a group of language learners as a Charter, Private or Independent School by using our Application and testing with neutral proctors.
