As English is not the “mother tongue” of many Le Régent students, the school has an intensive support structure to ensure they can integrate the mainstream classes as quickly as possible. Entrance tests and ongoing assessment allow us to identify language ability and the type of support required by each student. French is dominant in our curricula. For students of a different native language, we offer private or group lessons accordingly. Our approach is flexible and tailored to the individual’s needs.
