National Seal of Biliteracy (NSOB)

About NSOB Testing

The National Seal of Biliteracy (NSOB) is an optional test gives students the NSOB on their diploma, which certifies that they can work in 2 languages.

This test is available to all Odyssey seniors (and early graduation juniors) who have proficiency in a language other than English.

Students who earn this recognition have a seal added to their diploma and noted on their transcript that certifies their multilingual abilities.
