English-language instruction is supported by three EAL programs: Mainstream EAL Program, Foundational English Program (FEP) for Grades 2-5, and Bridging Program (BP) for Grades 6-9, providing immersive English language support and access to the full curriculum. The Mandarin program is taught through a multi-stream Mandarin language program with Simplified characters in CFL and CSL and Traditional characters in CAL and CHL; there are five lessons per week, and streams are assigned based on language assessments. The language programs align with ACTFL, YCT, and HSK standards, with field trips and cultural activities accompanying language study.
English serves as the main medium of instruction across subjects, and Chinese is provided as an additional language program.
