Why language Immersion?

Language immersion is crucial for effective language learning because it provides real world context where students are forced to use the language actively and frequently. By being surrounded by the language in everyday situations learners are encouraged to think and speak in English. This constant exposure helps them to grasp the subtleties of the language and accelerates proficiency & understanding in a way that traditional classroom settings often cannot.

Activities

Art & Crafts

Arts and crafts are an integral part of our language immersion activities. It is through these projects that students learn to process verbal instruction in order to complete tasks successfully. They also need to ask and answer questions in order to improve and achieve the best results possible.

Reading, Writing, Math

Reading, writing, and basic arithmetic is discovered through real-life experiences, games, and interactive activities that make learning meaningful and engaging. Our phonics program supports this approach by building strong foundational skills, helping children become confident and capable readers and writers

Imaginative Play

Whilst engaging with adults through imaginative play, learners have the opportunity to practice their speaking and listening skills in a meaningful context. They can learn to express themselves, articulate their thoughts and opinions, and develop their pronunciation and intonation.

Music

By incorporating singing into our language learning routine, it helps students to remember new words and phrases through rhythm and repetition. It also improves pronunciation, listening skills, and builds confidence in speaking.

Are you a daycare

centre/infant school?

No, we specialise in quality English Education through daily immersion so that your child can become proficient in English before starting statutory education.

Will the program affect my child's native language?

Immersing a child in another language typically doesn't harm their native tongue because young children have a remarkable capacity for bilingualism. Their brains are highly plastic, allowing them to learn multiple languages simultaneously without confusion. The native language, often reinforced at home, remains strong as it’s tied to emotional and social contexts. Studies show bilingual children maintain proficiency in both languages when given regular opportunities to practice each.

Is an immersion program right for all children?

When started at an early age immersion accelerates language acquisition and boosts cognitive flexibility for many children. However, it can be overwhelming for others. Children with language delays, anxiety, or special needs might struggle with the intensity and parents should first assess their child’s readiness, learning style, and emotional resilience.

What is the program structure?

The mixed-age class features two daily learning sessions. In the first, students engage in tailored activities designed to practice specific skills. The second session offers younger students the freedom to choose activities based on their interests. With a maximum of twelve students, our small class size enables teachers to provide personalised support, fostering English development through play-based scaffolding.
