Welcome to the World Languages Resource Guides
We are living in a fast-paced global community, which requires better understanding of people and their cultures. To meet this need, Phillips Academy offers students a great opportunity to learn a variety of world languages. The Academy is currently offering Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Russian and Spanish language classes.
As an Instructional Librarian and a language teacher with solid bilingual and crosscultural knowledge and experience, I am aiming to bring up-to-date information and resouces to support the academy's curriculums via this new information platform, LibGuide.
