Spanish Language is a most valuable medium of communication at international level. With more than 400 million of speakers in the world, it depicts also a rich blend of various cultures and traditional values.

Our Spanish students show outstanding remarkable results with academic reports recording grade A* and B in the previous 3 different consecutive years.

The Spanish language school curriculum has been formulated in line with the Cambridge International Certificate Programme.

The Spanish Department consists of 2 graduated and experienced educators, keenly committed to make students develop language skills, and become effective communicators in the Spanish language.

Furthermore, we also develop a personal holistic approach towards students encouraging them to get involved in extracurricular activities that sound to be both educative as well as recreational. For example, this year in November (2016), a touristic linguistic and cultural Spanish tour will be organised to enhance their loving, passionate interest for Spanish language with its rich cultures.
