The school provides a 'Bridge Class' for elementary students with little or no French proficiency, allowing them to follow a parallel curriculum while integrating into regular classes. For secondary students, a minimum B1 level is required, with additional support provided to strengthen French language mastery. Speech therapy and a 'listening corner' are also available to support student well-being.
