The languages of instruction are English and German. In Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, each class is taught by one English-speaking and one German-speaking teacher, exposing students to both languages. In Primary School, students are instructed in English and German, with cross-language planning between a native English-speaking teacher and a native German-speaking teacher. German-language development remains strong in bilingual settings, and students with other language dominances also achieve strong English reading and writing skills.
