Classes in Kindergarten & Prep School have two full time teachers - one for English and one for Spanish which covers our bilingual programme requirements.

The majority are native speakers in their language of instruction (English & Spanish). However, we have a mixture of External Examinations and National Curriculum, so many teachers rely on bilingual skills as the IGCSEs are examined only in English, but the IB has the opportunity for students to select the language of examination and we do our very best to accommodate these needs.

Yes - there are methods of support for students who are not fluent in any of our languages of instruction (English and Spanish). Our international students with limited Spanish have separate timetabled classes in that language. For non-English speakers we have in-class support as well. A specialist teacher works with students at a more beginner and introductory level who need greater support.
There is a Learning Support Centre with two full time specialists who coordinate the process and support the access to all aspects of the Curriculum.
The Prep School has an Educational Guidance Team that, together with teachers, plan special classes for students with specific needs in any of the languages.

French is introduced in the Prep School as a weekly workshop and can be completed upto IGCSE level.
