THE YEAR OF THE RAT

​FULL IMMERSION CLASSES

  • This is a unique method of teaching where no English -the minimum necessary- is spoken (only in cases of discipline or an emergency)
  • This programs helps children develop initial literacy in the immersion language, and then develop a complete understanding and fluency of the foreign language
  • Research shows that a full immersion program not only teaches students a foreign language, but it strengthens their understanding of their native language as well
  • Full Immersion shows students how to think globally, yet act locally – a mindset that is becoming more and more important these days
  • The constant exposure to different cultures and languages inherently creates a depth of knowledge and understanding in children. ​
We are confident your children will catch on quickly and thrive!

 
Why a second language for your child?
​

By making another language and culture a part of your child's life from a young age, it will offer them a cultural understanding and provide deep insights into how other people see the world.
​
A second language expands
their global view and leads to an appreciation of cultural diversity.
​
It is also fun, increases their creativity, independence, social interactions and an offers them a more positive attitude towards life.
Learning a new language has many benefits including:
  • Optimize focus and increases self confidence
  • Higher math, verbal, social studies and test scores
Why should my child learn a second language?
  • Research shows that children who study a foreign language perform better in their native language than non-bilingual students
  • Children learning a second language start reading earlier, and the advantage increases the earlier they are exposed to the second language
  • Your child will be able to speak to more people, it will boost their problem solving skills, cross-cultural understanding and make for incredible travel experiences!
