The Virginia Department of Education received a grant in April 2005 from the Asia Society to integrate
additional international knowledge and skills into the Commonwealth’s high school redesign efforts. In
August 2005, a survey was conducted to identify existing foreign language offerings, international
education programs, and best practices, the results of which were then disseminated to an 11 member
International Education Task Force. This task force, representing educators, businesses, parents, and community leaders, convened in November 2005 and again in January 2006 to review the data from the survey and to discuss possible resolutions and recommendations on international education and high school reform. In addition, the task force held a follow-up meeting in May after the International Education Summit. For the complete "Report on International Education in Virginia," CLICK HERE.
