Languages taught are English, German, and Spanish. English is taught from early childhood through Bachillerato, with English and German used as vehicular languages for about 50% of subjects. The school offers Cambridge ESOL (A1–C2) and Cambridge Admissions Test, Goethe-Institut, Oxford Test of English, and DELE (Spanish) certificates. Certificates align with CEFR and Bologna credits; in 2024-25, 104 students sat external language exams with 100% passing.
The school provides trilingual education from early childhood through Bachillerato. English and German are the vehicular languages for nearly half of all subjects, with Spanish as the third language. A Aula Enlace program provides language support for foreign students with no Spanish. This multilingual approach develops proficiency in English, German, and Spanish across the curriculum.
The school offers immersion language programs. After primary education ends, 6th-grade students travel to England (United Kingdom) for a study trip. In secondary, immersion trips to Ireland strengthen English and to Germany strengthen German, immersing students in local language and culture.
