Curriculum
Years 1 – 4: LabelFrancÉducation bilingual immersion programme
From Year 1, pupils enter exciting new territory through their introduction to our award-winning LabelFrancÉducation accredited French immersion programme, where a number of non-language lessons are taught in French while most are taught in English. For pupils who join us in Years 3 and 4 with limited/no proficiency in French, we provide additional French/English support. The immersion programme is completed at the end of Year 4.
The inclusive nature of the programme is based on the fundamental principle that everyone is carried along on the journey together, with levels of translation decreasing as language skills develop over time.
Naturally embraced by the children, this formative stage of their education provides benefits at many levels: it not only opens their minds to new cultural perspectives and personal accomplishments, it also opens the door to myriad future opportunities to travel, study and work.
Years 5 & 6
From Year 5, academic goals are brought into sharper focus as students begin their journey towards their Senior years, and we are present to guide them at every point along the way. Led by expert, subject-specialist teachers, we continue to extend their subject repertoire: Latin and Mandarin add to their appreciation of languages, and Computer Science brings applied understanding of coding and app development as well as online safety.
