Bilingual Vs. English

Starting in PYP2, students have the choice between the advanced bilingual programme and the English one. When possible, we encourage them to follow the advanced bilingual track. .

---

In PYP1 (1st grade)  all students follow the English programme, while still learning French for approximately 5 hours per week. Starting in PYP2 (2nd grade), Montgomery International School offers two different tracks:

PYP 2-5  (age 7-11)

English track:  all subjects are taught in English except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: students will be exposed to 50% or French and 50% of English

MYP 1-5 (age 11-16)

English track: All subjects are taught in English - except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: Students take French Language and Literature and History in French. The rest of the subjects are taught in English.

DP 1-2 (age 16-19)

English track: All subjects are taught in English - except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: The Advanced Bilingual diploma requires a second language taught as Language and Literature and another subject taught in the same second language (at EIM, History is taught in French).
