K-12 World Languages Standards

The Office of Academic Standards' World Languages Team is proud to announce that the 2024 North Carolina Standard Course of Study for World Languages was approved by the State Board of Education at their July 11, 2024 meeting. The following documents are available now.

Note: The current 2010 World Languages Standard Course of Study will remain in place for classroom instruction and assessment for the 2024-2025 school year.

Public School Units (PSUs) are expected to implement the 2024 North Carolina Standard Course of Study for World Languages starting in the 2025-2026 school year. Professional learning and resources to support PSU implementation will begin to be shared in fall 2024, with the finalized Proficiency Outcomes Document coming soon.
