The CBC Modern World Language Department offers four years of French, German, and Spanish. Students learn to communicate in the language as well as to appreciate the history, culture, and customs of various countries. Two years of the same language are highly recommended. French, German, and Spanish are elective courses. Most students begin their language study in their freshman year; others start in their sophomore or junior year.

Students who have studied a modern world language in middle school can take an achievement test for placement in the second level of that language. Levels V and VI are offered for these students.
