The California State Seal of Biliteracy is awarded to 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.  

To earn the California State Seal of Biliteracy in 2021-2022, graduating seniors must meet the requirements outlined in this Seal of Biliteracy 2021-22 Slidedeck.  This Illuminate Report shares graduating seniors’ current status towards earning the Seal of Biliteracy. Many students need to take the RI to be eligible for the Seal.

Students who did not have the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English can register to take an assessment administered by SFUSD Multilingual Pathways Department in Arabic, Filipino, Korean, Russian, or Vietnamese. Interested students should complete this form by March 1, 2022. We have also conducted outreach to students with these home languages who have met all other requirements.
