FlexPoint Earns New Mexico Approval for Nine World Language Courses

November 10, 2026

State approval allows New Mexico districts to implement FlexPoint courses in Chinese, French, and American Sign Language.

FlexPoint has earned approval for nine World Language courses on New Mexico's High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) List, giving districts access to state-reviewed digital curriculum in Chinese, French, and American Sign Language coursework. The approval expands schools' options for implementing high-quality language programs while supporting student achievement and language proficiency development.

The approved courses include:

• Chinese I
• Chinese II
• Chinese III
• Chinese IV
• French I
• French II
• French III
• French IV
• American Sign Language (ASL) III

New Mexico's HQIM review process is designed to identify instructional materials that meet rigorous academic standards and quality expectations. Placement on the state's approved list gives districts confidence that approved materials have undergone rigorous quality review and provides greater flexibility in curriculum adoption and investment decisions.

"This approval reflects the strength of our curriculum and our commitment to providing engaging, high-quality learning experiences that prepare students for success in an increasingly connected world," said Kevin Locke, chief operating officer of FlexPoint. "We're especially proud that districts can now implement complete Chinese and French language pathways using FlexPoint courses, creating opportunities for students to build proficiency and understanding over multiple years of study."

In addition to earning HQIM approval, all four Chinese courses received New Mexico's Culturally and Linguistically Relevant (CLR) designation, recognizing instructional materials that demonstrate exceptional attention to cultural relevance and culturally responsive teaching practices.

Together, the approved courses enable schools and districts to build comprehensive language-learning pathways that support student progression from introductory coursework through advanced study in Chinese and French.
