All teachers are language teachers and all students are immersed in language learning from day one. The academic language support program provides one-on-one, small-group, and full-class instruction to help English language learners succeed in academic classes. Boarders have weekend academic language classes tailored to their language learning needs, including IELTS test preparation. Balmoral Hall does not require any test scores for English language proficiency; admission follows a multi-step process: an interview with the Executive Director and/or Principal of Middle & Senior School, an online Duolingo assessment, a face-to-face assessment at the start of the school year, and a follow-up placement meeting.
