Immersion
Our unique dual-language classroom setting helps your child acquire both languages spontaneously and effectively. Two qualified teachers (one native Mandarin speaker and one native English speaker) jointly plan and teach each lesson, taking turns to deliver different parts of the session in their native tongues. Throughout the day, children build and practise targeted vocabulary through natural conversations and completion of planned tasks.
Reinforcement
To develop and hone their reading and writing skills, your child also attends two daily 45-minute sessions – one for English and one for Mandarin – that focus on and reinforce the essentials of each language, particularly in grammar and sentence construction.
Communication
Our small class sizes are the perfect setting for peer learning and one-to-one interactions between children and teachers. Your child will hone their speaking skills through song, poetry, presentations, conversations and reading aloud. They’ll soon be able to spontaneously engage those around them in both English and Mandarin.
Bicultural Experiences
Immerse your child in a whole new world
At EtonHouse, we take bilingualism to the next level. Through our various bilingual and bicultural initiatives, your child will explore the Chinese culture through field trips and participate in engaging extracurricular activities where opportunities to speak Mandarin abound. From board games and reading programmes to concerts and public speaking at assemblies, each activity is designed to instil confidence and set your child up for success in the next phase of their fun-filled learning journey.
Multi-Layered Support
Your partner in learning – in school and beyond
We go the extra mile for greater continuity in learning by partnering with and supporting parents, something you won’t find in other schools. Our teachers provide regular updates on what’s being taught in school to reinforce the same concepts and vocabulary at home.
Give your child the gift of language that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Come visit us and learn more about our Bilingual Programme.
