The NSS curriculum offers both English and mother-tongue teaching subjects for students to choose.
The school attaches great importance to the development of students' "biliteracy and trilingualism" skills. Through the promotion of the Extensive Reading Program, participation in inter-school speech contests and debates, publication of the student newspaper, and the organization of speech contests in English, Chinese and Putonghua, the school has been able to enhance the students' interest in learning "biliteracy and trilingualism".
In addition, the school has set up the "International Cultural Campus" program. Through the international network of the school sponsoring organization, it arranges for volunteers from American churches and tertiary institutions to visit the school on a regular basis, and invites foreign missionaries to serve in the school, so as to provide a richer English learning environment for students, and enable them to have more chances of getting in touch with foreign cultures and learning English.
