2023 California State Seal of Biliteracy

2023 California State Seal of Biliteracy 1

The State Seal of Biliteracy was established in California in 2012 to recognize high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading and writing in one or more languages in addition to English. It is also an opportunity to encourage monolingual English speakers to learn a world language. Being biliterate or multiliterate has cognitive, educational, sociocultural, and economic benefits for students.

The State Seal of Biliteracy is marked by a gold seal on the diploma or transcript of qualifying high school graduates.
