Institut Montana Cambridge English Foundation Year is aimed at students in Grades 5-7 who need to acquire firm English language skills to enter an international academic programme.
The four academic programmes of our International School represent a comprehensive 21st century skills focused curriculum that is entirely delivered in English. To become a linguistically confident student who feels at ease studying an English language-based curriculum, a strong command of the language is of paramount importance.
Building linguistic skills ideally without having to repeat an academic year
Building sound linguistic and academic skills during the Institut Montana Cambridge English Foundation Year will enable students to seamlessly transfer to our mainstream Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme (Grades 6-8) ideally without having to repeat an academic year.
