Various immersion programmes are available as follows.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBahasa Indonesia Immersion Programme<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollapse<\/i><\/a>\nLanguage immersion programmes have become popular avenues for accelerating students’ language proficiency.

Relationships nurtured through this programme provide students with valuable contacts for future work, academic or social networking purposes.<\/p>\n

Group photo during an excursion<\/p>\nLanguage immersion programmes are very popular with students who wish to widen their horizons and discover their identity in a foreign language culture. For many years, our students of French make the exciting decision to purchase their plane tickets, pack their bags and embark on an adventure to the city of Montpellier in France for their immersion. As their teachers, we advise, motivate, help them navigate the complexities of the French train systems, as well as provide them tips on places to visit and great culinary experiences to explore. While some are apprehensive prior to departure, they always come back happy with a newfound confidence in their knowledge and a feeling of autonomy and independence. The experience allows them to excel in French in their upper courses and open doors to them in the future.\n

The French Language Immersion Programme available to students after French 2 level allows them to get a taste of the summer sun, sea breeze and festivals in France while learning French on daily basis and discovering the French culture through excursions organised by the French school.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tGerman Language Immersion Programme<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\tThe German language section offers a language immersion programme.
