A fundamental principle is the teaching of mother tongue as first language (L1). The school provides teaching in the official languages of the European Union. It offers four language sections: German, English, French and Italian. The dominant language is determined at enrolment, and if a pupil's mother tongue section does not exist, they are enrolled in a vehicular language section and attend L1 as SWALS.
The school provides main tuition in the four language sections: German, English, French and Italian. In the Secondary School cycle, students can be taught in up to four foreign languages. This structure supports multilingual education with mother tongue taught as the first language.
During the Secondary School cycle, language study can extend to up to four foreign languages beyond the core sections. Language instruction is offered across multiple languages in the curriculum. These language studies occur alongside core subjects and language options. Learners have broad opportunities to develop language proficiency across the curriculum.
