for 1st to 10th Grades

The school’s EAL programme is designed to help students whose native language is not English. The EAL programme is structured around two principles based on research findings:

• children learn languages most effectively through immersion
• children’s native language skills influence their rate of learning and proficiency in a second language.

During the school day, children in the EAL programme are immersed in regular classrooms and supported by specially trained EAL teachers, who ensure the most effective learning strategies are in place. They focus on each student’s ability to acquire basic vocabulary, and vocabulary relevant to classroom topics.
