Language Learning
ISWA recognises the acquisition of another language is an important part of developing a deeper understanding of the world.
Languages are a core element of our international community and LOTE study is compulsory in all IB programmes from Kindergarten – Year 12.
In-class Language Learning
ISWA offers French and Spanish language classes in our academic curriculum.
In most year levels, ISWA schedules the same amount of time for language learning as the other core subjects (up to 2 hours/week in primary and 4 hours/week in secondary).
Our school offers immersion-style classes to ensure students will succeed. Best of all, the breadth of nationalities at our school means that students often have a native speaker to practise their new language skills.
Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge, respect and seek to learn from their wisdom, continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
