How do I choose a bilingual primary school?

Looking for a bilingual primary school

More and more parents are looking for a bilingual primary school for their child, to offer them a multilingual and multicultural education. However, choosing the right school can be a real challenge. Here are some things to consider when choosing a bilingual primary school.

Teaching methods

The first thing to consider is the school's teaching methods. Some bilingual schools follow an 'immersive' teaching method, where children are exposed to the foreign language intensively from an early age. Other schools adopt a more gradual approach, where the foreign language is introduced gradually over the years. It is important to find out about the different teaching methods offered by the school so that you can choose the one best suited to your child.

The choice of languages

Not all bilingual schools offer the same languages. So it's important to check whether the school offers the language you want your child to learn. It's also important to consider the quality of teaching in the languages on offer, as well as the level of proficiency of the teachers.

Extra-curricular programmes

Bilingual schools often offer extra-curricular programmes, such as additional language courses, cultural activities or trips abroad. It is important to find out about the programmes offered by the school to see if they match your child's interests and to assess the quality of these programmes.

The educational environment

The environment plays an important role in your child's choice of bilingual primary school. It's important to visit the school and meet the teachers. You can also see the facilities to assess whether the environment is suited to your child's needs.

Other parents' opinions

It is also important to find out about the experiences of other parents whose children have attended or are attending the school. The opinions of other parents can provide valuable information on :

  • the quality of teaching
  • the educational environment
  • student and parent satisfaction.
