LANGUAGE PROJECT

The global world in which we live has taught us that language proficiency is essential, and this is why we establish equivalence with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We also promote English as a second language and encourage students to gain formal qualifications in that language. The CEFR sets the levels of language proficiency in any EU language, with C1 being the highest and A1 being the lowest.

In recent years, 66% of students who sat the exam for First Certificate in the 1st year of sixth form obtained the qualification.

• Learning English from the age of 2, with native-speaking teachers.
• German as an elective subject in Secondary Education.
• Participation in the Connecting Europe exchange programme with countries such as Germany and Italy.
• We encourage international study experiences, including Experiencia Canadá and educational stays in Dublin.
• We prepare our students for external English language examinations.
• We have an increasing number of extracurricular activities taught in English by native-speaking teachers (from the age of 3).
• We organise English-language summer camps with native-speaking teachers.
• We are certified by Cambridge as an Authorised Preparation Centre for International English Qualifications.
• In collaboration with HABE (Institute for Adult Literacy and Basque), we facilitate enrolment for students wishing to prepare for the EGA (Basque Language Proficiency) certificate through extracurricular activities.
