Richmond High School for the Arts is proud to support students pursuing the Virginia Board of Education’s Seal of Biliteracy. Testing will take place on Tuesday, April 22 and Wednesday, April 23, 2025.

What is the Seal of Biliteracy?
The Seal of Biliteracy is an official recognition awarded to graduating students who demonstrate proficiency in English and at least one other language. This recognition is not only a celebration of language skills but also a strong indicator of college and career readiness, and global citizenship.

Why Take the Test?
Students who qualify may earn world language credits and receive the Seal of Biliteracy on their diploma. This award certifies:

• Proficiency in English through End-of-Course Assessments in reading and writing

• Proficiency at the intermediate-mid level or higher in another language, demonstrated through an approved language assessment

Languages may include world languages such as Spanish, French, Chinese, and American Sign Language.

Who Should Register?
Any student who can speak, read, and write in a language other than English and is interested in earning the Seal of Biliteracy or language credits is encouraged to sign up.

How to Register:
Students may register by completing the form at the link below:
Register for the Seal of Biliteracy Test

For more details, refer to the informational flyer posted around the school or speak with your language or ELL teacher.

We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their language skills and earn this meaningful recognition.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
Families will have the option to meet with teachers in person or virtually, making it easier to stay connected no matter your schedule.

This is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s academic progress, behavior, and overall success this semester. If you have questions or concerns, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your student’s teachers ahead of time or visit their Google Classrooms to sign up for a conference slot.
