The New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB) is your chance to show off your bilingual (or multilingual!) skills and get some pretty awesome perks along the way.
Here’s what you get:
-
A Fancy Seal: You'll receive an official NYS seal right on your diploma (yes, it looks super cool).
-
Graduation Swag: You get a special cord to wear at graduation so everyone knows you’re bilingual brilliance in motion.
-
College Credits: Potential college credits at CUNY and SUNY schools—because who doesn’t want a head start?
-
Career Boost: A big advantage when applying for jobs or internships. Employers love seeing that you can connect with people in more than one language!
-
The Flex: Let’s be real—it’s also a total personal flex. You can say, “Yeah, I’ve got the Seal of Biliteracy,” and it sounds so impressive.
Ready to Go For It?
You’ve got this! Don't let your skills go unrecognized.
