Welcome to Lingualive
The site of the Modern Foreign Languages Department @ Craigmount High School, Edinburgh.
Head Teacher: Dr John Campbell | Principal Teacher: Isobel Macarthur | Address: Craigs Road, Edinburgh EH12 8NH | Telephone: 0131 339 6823
At Craigmount we currently teach French or German from first to sixth year; Italian, previously taught from third year onwards, has been discontinued with the retiral of the previous Principal Teacher. We hope to introduce Spanish in its place in the near future as the department has staff qualified to teach Spanish.
Students arriving in first year normally study the language which they started (French or German) in Primary. We have close links with all our associated primary schools.
All students must study their first foreign language for four years. They normally sit Standard Grade at the end of fourth year.
From fifth year onwards students can study foreign languages to Intermediate 2, Higher or, in sixth year, Advanced Higher level.
There are entry requirements for each level: to study at Intermediate 2 level the student would normally have achieved Grade 3 at Standard Grade; to study at Higher level the student would have achieved Grade 1 or 2; to continue studies to Advanced Higher the student should have achieved a minimum of a B pass at Higher or its equivalent.
