Students within the school are able to speak a wide range of languages other than English. They are taught one or more modern languages: French, Mandarin, and German. Linguistic diversity is an enriching element in the life of the school but it could also be a source of division between students. For this reason we insist that all students at all times speak in English both in the learning environment of the classroom and also in the social environment of the playground.
