language_policyThe School strives to improve student's English proficiency by appointing foreign teachers to enhance the English speaking ability of junior high school students. There are enrichment programs, provided for student according to their level of language. As reading habits are significantly related to language abilities, the school arranges a number of activities to create reading environments.
