French and Spanish are offered as modern foreign languages from Grade 1, with Kindergarten receiving taster lessons in both languages before choosing which to follow beyond Grade 5. English as an Additional Language (EAL) supports learners to develop the English proficiency needed to thrive in IBPYP, IBMYP, IBDP, and IBCP. Home Language Enrichment (HLE) runs from Grades 1-10 for students whose first language is not English to maintain their native language and culture. For Diploma pathways, there are opportunities to maintain and develop home language(s) through School Support Self-Taught Literature courses, a pathway toward the IB Bilingual Diploma, and many languages are supported by after-school Home Language Enrichment opportunities.
