ENGLISH AS AN ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE

With more than 90 nationalities on campus, living and studying in a foreign language is a fascinating journey, but it can also be a big challenge. Many students at UWC Atlantic speak little or no English when they first join the school, but they gradually develop their linguistic skills and build up their confidence throughout the two-year programme.

We provide a wide range of strategies and support for all students for whom English is not their first language:

One-to-one tutorials

Supporting students in their IB subject classes

Adapting texts and materials

Crucially at UWC Atlantic, learning support is about more than just exams and grades. It is about developing the confidence to communicate and access a lifetime of enriching experiences and opportunities - both at the college and beyond.
