Modern Foreign Languages

Our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum is rooted in the core principles of the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and is designed to shape students into globally-minded, culturally literate, and confident communicators. Through French and Spanish, students embark on a language learning journey that promotes not only linguistic competence but also the development of international-mindedness and a lifelong love for languages.

We are committed to developing our learners into active inquirers who use language to explore global concepts such as identity, culture, and sustainability, thereby fostering a strong sense of shared humanity. Our curriculum aims to nurture the The Learner Profile attributes, empowering students to become open-minded, principled, reflective, and caring communicators, capable of engaging with diverse perspectives.
