The language program is English-medium with English as an Additional Language (EAL) support to help English learners access the curriculum.

A Mother Tongue program provides native-level language teaching from Grade 1 to strengthen students' home language skills. EAL supports and language objectives are integrated into lessons to ensure equal access and language development.
The school has native-level language teaching to students from Grade 1 and up. Home languages are valued and used in the mainstream classroom (interlingual teaching).
