About the award:
The Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy recognizes graduating seniors who demonstrate high proficiency in English and at least one additional language. Students may qualify through several state-approved assessments in English (such as SAT, ACT, ACCESS, AP English, or other approved measures) and through state-approved assessments in another language (such as AP, STAMP, AAPPL, Avant, IB, or other approved assessments).
Students demonstrating Intermediate High proficiency (or equivalent) may earn the Seal. Students demonstrating Intermediate Low proficiency (or equivalent) may qualify for the State Commendation Toward Biliteracy.
