Multilingualism at Casvi

Given that our fundamental objective is the development of internationality, multilingualism at Casvi International American School is developed in the following way:

– English. It is the official language of instruction in the Lower School, Middle School and High School stages (up to Grade 11). Given that its implementation has been gradual, next academic year 2022-23 this language will be the language of instruction for the entire student body. All subjects are taught in English by native English-speaking teachers, mostly American.

– Spanish. This is the last course in which it will be the language of instruction in Grade 12. In the rest of the stages, it is treated as the mother tongue in coexistence with English.

– In addition, we encourage to learn other languages, such as Chinese and German.
