Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy
BART joined the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy program in 2022. The Seal of Biliteracy is for any student who, upon graduation, demonstrates proficiency in English and ANY other language. Whether students speak a non-English language at home or learn it at school or elsewhere, they can now receive this distinction for being bilingual or multilingual.
The Seal of Biliteracy aims to celebrate the multiple languages that students in the BART community speak. It is an official notation on student transcripts that can also be used on resumes and employment applications. We honor the language expertise and diversity in our district!
