Our EAL programme supports students who are non-native English speakers in developing their language skills and confidence. The programme focuses on listening, speaking, reading, and writing through engaging with meaningful learning experiences.
Students receive targeted support based on their individual language needs and levels of proficiency. EAL provision enables students to participate confidently in classroom learning and communicate effectively with peers.
Our goal is to foster language development, independence, and a strong sense of belonging within the school community.
The ESL curriculum at Trio is global in content and technology-driven. iPads and technology aid learning opportunities for our ESL students, making content more accessible, project-based, and language learning more achievable.
This programme offers the students a learning environment that is supportive and inclusive. Every day is a step forward, as we see that the students are able to gradually and confidently express themselves in a new language.

Our ESL teachers work with students on reading, writing, listening, speaking, role plays and discussions on the topics taught in the class, which support students to become proficient in all areas.
Our school is an enthusiastic and energetic environment with a diversity of choices aimed at fulfilling the school’s mission of providing a well-rounded education.
