Languages taught include Mandarin (國語文), English (英語文), and Local Language (本土語文). Mandarin is the core instructional language, while English is offered across elementary and junior high as a designated language subject. The elementary English curriculum confirms English instruction begins in Grade 3 (1 weekly period) and is organized within a formal plan; junior high also includes an English language plan. Public pages do not specify levels (beginner to advanced) or explicit non-native speaker language support.
Shin Shing International School uses a bilingual integrated curriculum across elementary and middle school. English and Mandarin are used in teaching across subject areas under a bilingual integration framework (the bilingual integration curriculum self-check). The school publishes language curriculum plans for both junior high and elementary levels. In elementary, English is taught as a defined subject (英語文), with Grade 3 having an English curriculum plan that includes unit topics and a weekly period, demonstrating structured English language instruction within the bilingual program.
There is no dedicated language immersion program described in the public materials. The school emphasizes a bilingual integrated curriculum (雙語融入課程) rather than a standalone immersion track, with English taught as a subject across grades and bilingual units incorporated into the curriculum. This indicates immersion-like elements within a formal bilingual framework, but not a separate immersion program.
