We put great emphasis on our biliterate trilingual education. We attach equal importance to mother-tongue learning and students' competence in English and Putonghua. In order to improve students' English competence, selected modules in subjects such as Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography are taught in English in designated junior-form classes.
