Argentina Upper Secondary School (Years 4-5) Subjects - Academic School > Foreign Language (English or French)

Foreign language education is a component of the Argentinian education system. English is compulsory in both primary and secondary schools. While the precise curriculum for upper secondary school (Years 4-5) remains unclear, some sources suggest at least two hours of English instruction per week. French is also offered as a foreign language option in some schools. More detailed information about the upper secondary curriculum for English and French is not readily available. However, the Argentinian education system includes a basic cycle (Years 1-3) with common subjects for all students, followed by an oriented cycle (Years 4-6, or 4-5 in some provinces) with specializations such as Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Arts, Sport, and Design. Bilingual and international schools offer more intensive language programs, often incorporating English and/or Spanish as primary languages of instruction. For example, Asociación Escuelas Lincoln offers an IB program and emphasizes English language instruction.
