Language Policy

At the YHKCC, we are proud to offer a vibrant and immersive language environment that nurtures globally minded, multilingual learners.

English as the Medium of Instruction

English is the medium of instruction for all subjects (except Chinese), creating a rich English-speaking environment across the campus. Our junior English curriculum integrates Literature in English, strengthening students’ language skills while deepening their understanding of Western culture. This approach ensures students develop strong academic English and cultural literacy.

Chinese Language Learning

Chinese is a core subject for all students, with Mandarin fully integrated into both mainstream and adapted Chinese lessons. Our goal is to foster bilingual proficiency and literacy, empowering students to communicate confidently in English, Cantonese and/or Mandarin, with literacy in both English and Chinese.

Third Language Opportunities

Students can explore a third language, including Korean, Japanese, French or Spanish – through interest-based classes. These classes are engaging introductions that may lead to formal language study and internationally recognized qualifications.

We are dedicated to equipping our students with the language skills, cultural awareness and global competence needed for success in an interconnected world.
