Languages Offered
While the school itself offers its curriculum in English, French or bilingual programs, it offers some other foreign languages such as Spanish, German, Italian as part of the curriculum. Swedish, Japanese, Swahili, Finnish and other foreign languages are available via private tuition but can be counted towards credits; this route is often chosen by students who have little other opportunity to learn their mother tongue. The two curricula for the different language programs are, in theory identical, other than the fact that they are in two different languages and ultimately lead to two different diplomas, with the English language program leading to the International Baccalaureate (or a High School Certificate with graduation one year earlier), and the French language program leading to the Swiss Maturité Fédérale. However, the International Baccalaureate bi-lingual section also offers a vast array of its courses in French.

Famous quotes containing the words languages and/or offered:
“No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And offered her a home to rest awhile
Before she went the poor man’s widow’s way,
Housekeeping for the next man out of wedlock.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
