From day one at Agora Portals International School pupils are prepared for an international future and a key element of this overall philosophy is our focus on the importance of English and the introduction of other foreign languages at different stages of the curriculum. Children are immersed in the English language from an early age so that, for them, it becomes a normal and natural way of communicating; 50% of the curriculum is delivered in English throughout the Preschool and Primary stages. To ensure full immersion and to promote fluency, each language is taught by native or fully bilingual teachers and all interactions are conducted in the designated language.
All pupils in Preschool and first stage Primary are taught Mandarin Chinese and at Secondary level students study German or French to complete their multilingual education. For students who wish to further perfect their understanding and fluency in English, Agora Portals International School has an integrated Language Academy that supplements the languages taught as part of the mainstream curriculum and prepares pupils for the Trinity College or Cambridge English examinations.
As an official Language Academy, our students can sit examinations in internationally recognised qualifications from the following exam boards:
