On the back of the one dollar bill of the United States is a Latin phrase “e pluribus unum” or “one from many.” In the modern language department at Boston Latin School we try to bring our students back to the various cultures from which the “one” has come. By introducing students to new languages and cultures, we hope to make them productive and successful members of the 21st century global community, able to appreciate all cultures and share with many citizens of different countries.
