两种语言，两名教师，一个课堂
每节双语课都由一名英语班主任和一名中文班主任共同授课，两位老师均为母语使用者，他们共同规划、教学和评估。每天与同一批学生相处，他们提供持续、协调的支持，确保您的孩子在两种语言方面的进步都由熟悉他们的老师密切关注。
双向沉浸式教学模式将以英语为主和以中文为主的学生汇集在同一课堂。在整个学习日中，学生们协作学习，在讨论、小组合作和日常活动中使用两种语言。这种融合方法有助于使两种语言自然地融入学生在课堂上的学习、交流和贡献。
跨语言学术学习
您的孩子学习与主流课程学生相同的核心科目，包括数学、读写、科学和社会研究。英语和中文在这所有科目中都会使用，因此，语言发展与学术学习在全天同步进行。
课程与国际公认的学术标准保持一致：英语读写和社会研究采用AERO标准，科学采用下一代科学标准 (NGSS)，中文读写采用国际中文教育中文水平等级标准。您的孩子的进步是根据公认的外部标准衡量的，而不仅仅是学校内部的期望。
学生的进步通过内部评估和外部基准进行监测，包括青少年汉语考试 (YCT)、WIDA、MAP和IB框架。这提供了您的孩子在两种语言方面随时间发展的清晰、全面的视图。
Language & Culture
Language and culture are closely connected in the bilingual programme. As students develop their language skills, they are also introduced to cultural perspectives and traditions.
Through engaging and meaningful experiences, students explore elements such as Chinese calligraphy, tea appreciation, the 24 solar terms, and the evolution of Chinese characters (hanzi 汉字). These experiences deepen their understanding of the language and its cultural context.
By learning language and culture together, students develop curiosity, respect for diverse perspectives, and an appreciation of the world around them
What Your Child Gains Over Time
Research shows that students in bilingual programmes often make strong gains in both language development and overall learning. In this programme, students not only learn two languages, but also learn through both languages—using them to think, communicate, and solve problems across subjects. This strong bilingual foundation prepares students well for the IB Middle Years Programme.
By this stage, your child will have spent years reading, writing, discussing, and interpreting increasingly complex ideas across subjects in two languages, developing both academic proficiency and confidence.

FAQs
Get answers to the most common questions from prospective parents about our school.
The programme currently runs from Pre-K to Grade 5.
No. The programme is designed so that students continue developing strong English while building Chinese at the same time. Because both languages are used across academic learning, they reinforce each other rather than developing at each other's expense.
Yes. The Bilingual Programme is fully aligned with the Mainstream Programme for Mathematics, English, Science, and Social Studies. Students work towards the same curriculum requirements, taught through a bilingual timetable and coordinated instructional planning.
Yes. Children do not need to speak Chinese before joining the programme. The two-way immersion model is designed for students from different language backgrounds to learn together, with additional support available where needed so that each child can make progress at an appropriate pace.
Progress is tracked through internal assessment and external benchmarks including YCT (Youth Chinese Test), WIDA, MAP, and IB frameworks. This gives you a consistent picture of how your child is developing in both languages over time.
