English is the main language of instruction. A Home Languages Programme (HLP) is available on both campuses to help students maintain literacy in a home language not studied in the academic curriculum. On East Campus, the home languages offered in the past school year were Bengali, Cantonese, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Thai. HLP classes are taught by qualified native‑speaking teachers in small groups; some home languages are offered until they become part of the academic programme, and the Home Languages Programme can support access to bilingual IB Diploma options by enabling progression to relevant courses.
