Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy
The State Seal of Biliteracy is a recognition given by the State of Illinois to high school seniors who have studied and can exhibit the ability to communicate in two or more languages (including English) by their senior year of high school. It is highlighted on high school diplomas and serves as a statement of accomplishment for college admission and for future employment.
Your proficiency in the Persian language may be recognized through the Seal of Biliteracy if you can meet the required score via an approved Persian language testing provider. We encourage you to visit this website and reach out to your high school administration for further guidance. To receive the Seal, graduating seniors must complete an online application and demonstrate proficiency in English and a World Language according to the criteria listed by the Illinois State Board of Education.
Chicago Persian School is not an approved testing provider however, the state of Illinois board of education has approved testing providers that can assess your Persian language proficiency level at a nominal cost.
