NYS Seal of Biliteracy (NYSED)

The New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB) recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages, in addition to English.

The intent of the NYSSB is to encourage the study of languages; identify high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employers; provide universities with additional information about applicants seeking admission; prepare students with twenty-first-century skills; recognize the value of foreign and native language instruction in schools; and affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society.
