The school emphasizes triliteracy and four languages: Cantonese, English, Mandarin, and Spanish. English is the primary medium of instruction for English, Math, and General Studies, with Chinese Language lessons. In Grades 1-3, Mandarin is used as the medium of instruction, while in Grades 4-6, we transition to Cantonese. Spanish is taught 4 to 6 lessons per week across all grade levels, with fluency expected after six years.
The school offers a Dual Language Program in Primary with a 50/50 split between English and Mandarin across all subjects, including performing arts, physical education, and S.T.E.A.M. In middle school, the program maintains a balanced 50/50 approach with electives offered in both languages; core subjects allocate Chinese Language Arts and English Language Arts separately, while Math and Science are taught in English and Social Studies is taught in Chinese.
