Bilingual program

We provide an innovative Anglophone Educational Programme for students aged 10-18 as part of a bicultural curriculum.

OUR HISTORY

At our institution, we are committed to an education that blends academic excellence, intellectual rigor, spiritual growth, and a global outlook. Our bilingual programme embodies this vision, meeting the aspirations of students and families alike.
More than just language learning, the programme develops students who can think in another language and understand different cultures through strong linguistic and cognitive skills. It offers full immersion in Anglophone cultures, both academically and artistically.
Through a wide range of subjects and a holistic pedagogical approach, students cultivate critical and independent thinking while deepening their intercultural awareness.
We believe this innovative programme opens meaningful opportunities for our students. It reflects our tradition of excellence—where minds rooted in culture and faith are prepared to engage openly with the world.
We invite you to explore this ambitious programme, a true expression of our commitment to a profound, future-focused, and values-driven education.

Beyond the Classroom

Enrichment activites

Join a school where learning comes to life

Our Bilingual Programme goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. It inspires students to explore their talents and interests through enrichment activities such as Drama and the Model European Parliament (MEP). These are essential parts of our educational vision, offering opportunities for self-expression, leadership, and real-world learning.

Drama and MEP help students build confidence, discover new passions, and apply classroom knowledge in practical ways. They provide a safe space to take risks, share ideas, and grow personally.

Whether your child enjoys performing, is curious about politics, or seeks new challenges, these activities offer meaningful experiences that support their development academically and personally.

Model European Parliament (MEP)

Foster critical thinking, diplomacy, and public speaking through active participation in the Model European Parliament – where students step into the roles of European policymakers.

Drama

Step into the spotlight and bring stories to life!
Our Drama Club invites students to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop teamwork through acting, improvisation, and stage production. Whether you are a born performer or just curious, there is a role for everyone on and off the stage.

Model United Nations (MUN)

‘Empowering students to become informed, articulate global citizens’
At Model United Nations (MUN), diplomacy meets debate, and young minds shape the future. Whether passionate about international affairs, human rights, or global sustainability, MUN is the place to speak, negotiate, and lead on the world stage.

The Team

One of the keys to success lies in the recruitment of mother-tongue English speaking teachers who are capable of bridging multiple subject areas.
Our teachers offer students authentic exposure to the English language as it is used and spoken in Anglophone speaking countries.
