Learning environment
As an IB World School, bilingual allows students to “learn by doing”, a core education strategy of the 4 programmes. Neuroanatomical science has shown evidence that studying a second language increases brain functioning and plasticity and improved memory, leading to better academic achievements, strong social skills, enhanced performance in creative thinking and problem solving. Research also highlights that speakers of multiple languages learn further languages more easily and has significant cognitive benefits. Overall the benefits are enormous!
