    TSP primarily seeks to develop pupils’ fluency in French, Italian or English, but also conducts workshops (which vary by session) in architecture, painting, engineering and photography. Students spend three periods each class day receiving formal language instruction, then take part in two enrichment periods. During one such period, boys and girls work in the computer language lab, watch films in the subject language or participate in a language-related drama class; in the other, students select a class from an area of interest such as studio art, video filmmaking, computers, journalism or singing. Regular homework assignments and compulsory evening study hall reinforce classroom learning.
