CS prefers to take non-English speaking children as young as possible, usually in the year in which they complete their second birthday. For older children entering the school, CS has a specially prepared intensive English course to bring their knowledge up to the required standard at the end of which they move back into mainstream teaching. Similar provisions are made for non-Spanish speaking children as CS expects its pupils to achieve a high level of bilingualism and obtain good grades in both English and Spanish subjects.
