English is the primary language of instruction across the Early Learning Center through Secondary. English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes are offered for students in Grades 1–10 to support non-native English speakers. Japanese language instruction is delivered through a Japanese as an Additional Language (JAL) program and a Kokugo program for proficient Japanese speakers; Kokugo follows a modified version of the national curriculum and is taught within the English-dominant program. Language learning is integral to SIS, with ongoing support for English and for students' native languages.
