The South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy Mission Statement: The South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy advances the state's commitment to preparing every learner for college- and career-readiness in an increasingly international community by recognizing learners who attain levels of proficiency in English and at least one other world language required in the global workforce.
All South Carolina students are eligible to attain the South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy based on two qualifications submitted during their junior and / or senior year of achieving the required level of language proficiency in a language other than English (Qualification 1) and in English (Qualification 2); qualification requirements must be met for both English and another language for each South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy attained, regardless of the student applicant’s first/heritage language.
Participating districts make the South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy available to prospective students in the fall (high school juniors and seniors) and report those who qualified in the spring via PowerSchool.
Earning this award gives South Carolina students an opportunity to provide evidence displaying their language proficiency to universities and employers. The South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy is an award that serves South Carolina students who come from many backgrounds – multilingual learners, heritage speakers, as well as learners of a second language other than English. This seal encourages students to take ownership of their language proficiency growth, to better prepare themselves for today’s workforce, and to give them an edge in a competitive job market.
If interested, students must contact Mrs. Heyni Sabatino (hsabatino@acsdsc.org) by September 30th.
