Languages Other Than English (LOTE) Department
LANGUAGES ARE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL
At Venice High School we are proud to offer 8 different LOTE programs for our students.
Arabic, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Spanish for Spanish Speakers, and in the Dual Language K-12 program: Mandarin and Spanish.
Please see our Course Catalog for a complete list of courses offered in our department.
At Venice High School, we have an annual tradition of setting up an altar with "ofrendas" with the purpose of remembering those who we have lost in life, but also, recognizing contemporary political issues of that year. Below, please see the photos of how we set up last year's altar in Cunningham Court on campus.
Of course, other cultures also have traditional celebrations of related ideas. For example, in France, the French celebrate "La Toussaint"
Read this article to find out how they do so.
