Yes. Students who have satisfied the English level entrance assessment requirements but for whom English is their second language can receive professional support in our enhanced English as a Second Language (ESL) program. In primary school, the ESL program runs parallel to English classes for three 45 minute lessons a week. Students participating in this program will not miss out on what is being taught in their English classes as the ESL teachers will complement the topics and tasks done there. The ESL teachers are expert in the area of second language acquisition and regular sessions with them will help your child develop English language skills for all subjects across the curriculum. ESL support is also provided in secondary English classes.

Yes. The Learning Support program is run by Learning Enrichment Centre (LEC) and caters for children who are completely mainstreamed with minimal withdrawal for specialist learning enrichment services.

When additional help is required, an LEC teacher designs a program to suit the needs of a particular student. The program is very flexible. The LEC teacher may offer support within the classroom and work alongside the class teacher in helping the student, or the student may be withdrawn from class at certain times during the week and given help on a continuing basis or for a short period of time depending on the specific needs of the student.
