English is essential — another foreign language makes you stand out

In today’s globalised world, knowing one foreign language is valuable — knowing two or three is a real advantage. At EISB, our students build a strong foundation in English thanks to excellent teachers and because English is used as the lingua franca across all subjects. On top of that, students can study German, Spanish or French — languages that open doors to new cultures, study options and career paths.

English is the baseline: the language of international communication, science and technology. That said, being conversational in an additional language gives students a tangible competitive edge. Employers, universities and exchange programmes increasingly prefer candidates who can work across languages and cultures — that extra language often becomes the decisive factor.

Culture, curiosity and global citizenship

Each language brings a new way of seeing the world. Learning German, Spanish or French helps students understand different histories, arts and social norms. This cultural literacy builds empathy, curiosity and the ability to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds — qualities that matter as communities and workplaces become more international.

Career and study opportunities

Languages are practical tools for the careers of tomorrow.

• German connects students to strong engineering, innovation, and technology sectors in Central Europe.

• Spanish links to a huge and growing cultural and economic area across Europe and the Americas.

• French opens doors in diplomacy, international institutions and many multilingual regions worldwide.

Beyond specific sectors, multilingual graduates are more adaptable: they can pursue internships, scholarships and jobs in different countries, or work on international teams from day one.

Cognitive and learning benefits

Research shows that multilingual learners develop stronger memory, improved problem-solving skills and greater mental flexibility. Learning additional languages also supports metacognitive skills — students become better learners because they understand how learning itself works.

In conclusion

English at EISB gives our students a strong start; German, Spanish and French give them an edge. Learning additional languages is not just an academic task — it’s an investment in cultural understanding, cognitive strength and future opportunities. Our multilingual curriculum aims to make students confident communicators, curious citizens and competitive candidates for whatever path they choose.
