Curriculum
The primary school, years 1-6, uses a German immersion programme. The secondary school has two divisions: a German stream and an English stream; 85% of the secondary students are in the German stream. Students in the English stream, making up the remainder of the students, take German classes.[2]
Certain subjects are taught to all students in German, such as Year 8 Biology, while others are taught to all students in English, such as Year 8 Chemistry and Geography. Students from both streams take the same art and music classes.[2]
