Languages at OTR International School

At OTR, French and English are used daily in a balanced bilingual approach that enables students to progressively develop fluency in both languages while strengthening critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and a global perspective. Native-speaking teachers work closely together to ensure pedagogical consistency and authentic language immersion across all grade levels.

  • In Preschool, children benefit from daily exposure to both languages through immersive learning experiences and teacher rotation.
  • In Primary School, students follow a rigorous bilingual curriculum delivered equally in French and English through a co-teaching and language rotation model within the IB PYP curriculum.
  • In the MYP curriculum, bilingualism is reinforced through structured French instruction and the study of additional languages such as Spanish, German, Mandarin, or Japanese.
  • In the DP and Cambridge A Levels pathways, students continue to develop advanced language proficiency through academically rigorous courses adapted to their level, preparing them for higher education and international opportunities.
