Michigan Seal of Biliteracy

Mission

The Michigan Seal of Biliteracy (MI-SoBL) has been created to recognize high school graduates who exhibit proficiency in English and at least one additional world language via several approved pathways. The MI-SoBL has been created to encourage students to study world languages and embrace their native and heritage languages. The MI-SoBL will provide employers with a way to identify individuals with strong language and biliteracy skills. The MI-SoBL may serve as an additional tool for colleges and universities to recognize applicants' language abilities for admission and placement. This website provides information to students, parents, teachers, and administrators about the MI-SoBL with the goal of creating greater equity and access to this award.
