Throughout our learning pathways, students have the opportunity to take up, fine-tune, and fast-track fluency in different world languages, building high-level communication skills and a global mindset.

Spanish

At our bilingual school in California, students grow from novice to advanced proficiency, mastering communication and cultural understanding through immersive classes and real-world practice. Advanced learners tackle AP Spanish Language.

Chinese (Mandarin)

Learners start as beginners and progress to advanced levels, building strong speaking, reading, and writing skills. The curriculum includes AP Chinese in Grades 11 and 12, with expert teachers guiding students through interactive lessons and cultural exploration.

Students fulfill the Language Other Than English requirement by engaging in ASL courses at the High School level.

Integrated into the curriculum, ASL classes build expressive and receptive skills, foster empathy, and encourage students to connect with different ways of communicating. Every lesson inspires confidence and broadens perspectives.
