We believe Modern Foreign Languages teach to live a new life for every language you speak. If you only know one language, you only live once.

Our curriculum supports students to learn languages to cultivate a greater understanding of how to communicate effectively with the rest of the world. Through our curriculum, students develop linguistic proficiency alongside cultural awareness in each of the four disciplines: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
