Power of Bilingual Education

Choosing where to send children to school is a big decision. Your child’s education whether it be monolingual or bilingual, is one of the most important things you will have to consider during their lives. There are many benefits of a bilingual education. If your child is bilingual when they are ready to start school, learning in a bilingual school can reinforce their languages. If your child can speak only one language, giving them a bilingual education can help them to acquire an additional language in a short amount of time. Immersing your child into the language on a daily basis long term, will not only help them to become proficient in the language, but will also be exposed to other opportunities. Read More

Much research has been done on bilingual children and researchers agree they don’t have any delays in developing languages. In fact, they are better able to focus their attention and ignore distractions (Cognitive Reserve), more creative, better at planning, more competent at solving complex problems and more analytical. They have higher cultural awareness, better social skills and higher EQ. Bilingual children have cognitive flexibility, make decision faster, perform well in logic, math, music, computer, science and easily learn other languages. Based on this, if we want to raise a whole population of children with exceptional abilities, it is our duty as teachers and parents to support and encourage language learning and to invest in bilingual education.
