English is the language of instruction for the majority of subjects. Japanese is taught as a separate language program through JAL and Kokugo; the Kokugo Programme follows a modified version of the Japanese national curriculum adapted to English-medium instruction. EAL support is available for students in Grades 1–10 to assist non-native English speakers. In the Middle Years Programme, language learning includes English and Japanese and is tailored to students' proficiency levels.
