This program is held in French, Spanish, Chinese and Korean and focuses on not only acquiring the language, but also includes CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) where students learn about the target country’s culture, history, economy and politics from different angles in that target language. Also a 1 year study abroad program links with this APM program and you may choose to study abroad in the target country, leading to a deeper knowledge. We aim to foster human beings that will embody "International Liberal Arts" and who have not only English skills, which is the lingua franca of SILS, but also plurilingual and multicultural skills allowing students to understand plural cultures.19
