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 child's proficiency in the Persian language may be recognized through the Seal of Biliteracy if they can meet the required score via an approved Persian language testing provider. We encourage you to visit this website and reach out to your child's high school head of langauge department. 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 can provide support, as a resource or a test proctor (through approved testing providers that can assess your child's Persian language proficiency level at a nominal cost.)
