Delaware Valley Regional High School participates in the New Jersey Seal of Biliteracy program.  The Seal recognizes seniors who have achieved language proficiency in English and a world language prior to graduation. The State of New Jersey awards seniors with a certificate and an insignia on their transcript.  Delaware Valley celebrates students who achieve the Seal at senior awards night. 

Juniors and seniors will be offered assessment opportunities through their world languages class. Most languages are tested using the STAMP 4S Assessment.
