Casimir Pulaski High School’s bilingual program embraces the International Baccalaureate philosophy of global mindedness. Students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own culture, experience other cultures, and pursue academic excellence in two languages.

All educators teach the same subjects, use the same academic standards, and use appropriate assessments to prepare students to meet graduation-day goals and more. Pulaski’s bilingual program graduates may earn the prestigious Seal of Biliteracy, college scholarships, or land rewarding jobs that require bilingual and multicultural communication skills.
