All of R-MA’s Foreign Language Teachers are members of one or more professional teachers´ organization(s): The American Association of Teachers of German (AATG), The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF), and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP). These organizations created and oversee both the National Exams & the Foreign Language Honor Societies for Spanish, French & German.  The National Exams are required for each of the Foreign Languages at R-MA, but the only role that R-MA plays in the National Exams is that of administering them. The questions are created and the exams are graded by the AATSP, the AATF, and the AATG.
