English is the main language of instruction, and daily Chinese classes are provided for all students. Chinese language instruction runs from early years through high school, with CNS (Chinese as a Native Speaker) or CAL (Chinese as an Additional Language) pathways available depending on language ability. An EAL (English as an Additional Language) program provides in‑class and additional support for students needing English proficiency development. Chinese culture is also incorporated into language study as part of the curriculum.
English is the main language of instruction at SPGS International School Chengdu. Chinese language and culture are integrated into the curriculum, and a co‑teaching approach supports learning in both English and Chinese to accelerate language development. The bilingual framework operates across all year groups, with daily Chinese language classes and language support woven into classroom teaching. The Junior School serves ages 3–10 and the Senior School serves ages 11–18, both participating in this bilingual model.
