The International School has one of the largest English as an Additional Language (EAL) teams in the country. Highly qualified teachers deliver specialist EAL programmes tailored to the needs of each student. The EAL provision ensures students develop their English alongside their academic subject knowledge to support progress across all areas.
The school offers native language courses (near-native language programmes) that lead to an A-Level exam. The native language course lasts one year and is followed in the first year of the Sixth Form. Places are subject to an arrival assessment to ensure the course fits with the student's overall study programme. When three or more students wish to study a particular language, the course fee is £1,000 and includes a minimum of 45 hours of group contact time; if fewer than three students enroll, the school assesses each case to agree a suitable programme of tuition.
