Preschool and Elementary

At our Preschool and international Elementary, students immerse themselves in English, experiencing it across most subjects. They build a strong literacy foundation in Spanish, developing essential reading and writing skills from an early age. Through French lessons filled with songs, games, and basic vocabulary, students engage in a fun and natural introduction to a third language.

From curiosity to confidence, students grow as multilingual learners, enjoying every step of their language journey.

Preschool and Elementary

Middle School

At our bilingual Middle School, students engage in language learning that goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. They deepen their academic English through critical reading, essay writing, and presentations, preparing them for success across all subjects.

Students studying Spanish develop analytical and literary skills, exploring texts and ideas that challenge their thinking and expand their understanding of language and culture. Meanwhile, students learning French strengthen their grammar, enhance reading comprehension, and improve communication, gaining confidence in expressing themselves clearly and effectively.

Through hands-on lessons, collaborative projects, and meaningful practice, students not only learn languages - they master them, gaining skills that last a lifetime.

Middle School

High School

In High School, students refine their English skills to advanced academic and near-native levels, mastering reading, writing, and critical thinking. In Spanish, they dive into literature, history, and advanced written expression, gaining a deep understanding of culture and communication.
Students studying French reach higher-level proficiency, preparing for international exchanges and future academic opportunities abroad.

By learning multiple languages, students not only strengthen their communication skills but also develop the cultural awareness and confidence needed to succeed in a global world.
