The Seal of Biliteracy is an award that certifies a student's language proficiency in multiple languages for employers and universities. It's a statement of accomplishment added to a student's transcript that signals evidence of a student's readiness for career + college and to engage as a global citizen.
The Global Seal Credential is an award given to an even higher level of biliteracy that certifies functional and/or working fluency for any school or employer across state lines and national borders.
