Languages
A Cornerstone of the IB Curriculum
Language acquisition shapes how students communicate, understand the world, and engage with diverse communities. At aLphabet, we emphasize not only proficiency but also the broader skills of communication, critical thinking, and cultural empathy.
Language in the PYP
Sustained Focus
Students choose between Hindi, Tamil, and French in Grade 1 and continue with it throughout PYP to build fluency and confidence.
Intercultural Awareness
Learning a language allows students to see the world through multiple lenses, fostering empathy and respect.
Meaningful Connections
Develops the ability to connect meaningfully with diverse communities.
Language in the MYP
Cognitive Flexibility
Students can switch languages in MYP (Hindi, Spanish, French), strengthening problem-solving and innovation skills.
Local Connection
All students learn Tamil for listening and speaking, helping them connect with the local culture and community.
Global Engagement
Learning international languages allows students to engage with global issues with confidence and purpose.
Preparing Globally-Minded Learners
Through this approach, we prepare students to thrive as confident, reflective, and empathetic communicators in an interconnected world.
