Yes, we offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) Support to students requiring extra support. The purpose of this programme is to provide targeted help to students to develop literacy in English. The programme will give additional attention to speaking, listening & comprehension of spoken English, reading & writing and learning through English.

Students from age 5 and above who need the support will be identified during the assessment stage of the Admissions process. Following this, The Oxford Young Learners Placement Test is used to determine each child's current level. For students below 5 years old, EAL is not required upon enrolment; however, the child will be assessed during Kindergarten 1. This is to determine whether EAL support is compulsory to prepare them for primary school learning.

Currently, Vietnamese Language & Culture (VLC) and Mandarin are offered as 2nd Languages. Vietnamese class is compulsory for students of Vietnamese nationality. For other international students, they can choose to study either Vietnamese or Mandarin (lessons for both Vietnamese and Mandarin run concurrently). Lessons are conducted three times a week, for a duration of an hour or more, depending on the year level. Students will either learn the second language at the standard level or basic level. The class allocation of the child (basic or standard class) will be based on the following (by the language teachers) on class assessments and observations on the student’s learning in class.

- All parents can help students to learn spellings and times table facts.
- Students need time to socialise, rest, play, and be children to enjoy their childhood.
- Students should be given opportunities to try new experiences outside school and begin to develop personal interests.
- Activities such as reading for pleasure, cooking, learning a musical instrument, and playing sports are all forms of home learning.
