We have chosen to offer a bilingual French–English environment from the age of two because early childhood is a uniquely powerful time for language learning. At this stage, children acquire languages naturally, through interaction, play, and everyday routines — without pressure or formal instruction.
Introducing bilingualism early allows children to grow confident in both languages while supporting their overall cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Children are cared for by two adults at all times:
Both languages are present throughout the day, allowing children to associate each language with a consistent adult and to begin understanding and using both naturally.
The same model continues, with:
Children deepen their comprehension and expressive abilities through play, routines, stories, and interactions in both languages.
From Reception, children experience a structured time-based immersion:
This ensures balanced exposure while allowing children to engage fully in learning, discussions, and activities in each language. This also helps ensure that children do not exclusively gravitate towards their preferred language.
