Students in Year 6 are required to complete the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint before moving on to Secondary School.

Currently, Vietnamese Language & Culture (VLC) and Mandarin are offered as 2nd Languages. Vietnamese class is compulsory for students of Vietnamese nationality. For other international students, they can choose to study either Vietnamese or Mandarin (lessons for both Vietnamese and Mandarin run concurrently). Lessons are conducted three times a week, for a duration of an hour or more, depending on the year level. Students will either learn the second language at the standard level or basic level. The class allocation of the child (basic or standard class) will be based on the following (by the language teachers) on class assessments and observations on the student’s learning in class.

We work with an external party who is a professional and licensed support centre. They will evaluate the child and work closely with the school and parents to determine the level of support needed.

Yes, we offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) Support to students requiring extra support. The purpose of this programme is to provide targeted help to students to develop literacy in English. The programme will give additional attention to speaking, listening & comprehension of spoken English, reading & writing and learning through English. Students from age 5 and above who need the support will be identified during the assessment stage of the Admissions process. Following this, The Oxford Young Learners Placement Test is used to determine each child's current level. For students below 5 years old, EAL is not required upon enrolment; however, the child will be assessed during Kindergarten 1. This is to determine whether EAL support is compulsory to prepare them for primary school learning.
