Classes will initially be taught in German, with French being introduced in the second phase. "The Swiss School Beijing will offer German-speaking students the opportunity to learn in their native language, situated uniquely within Western Academy of Beijing's innovative and diverse learning community," said WAB Director Courtney Lowe.
