English

Learning English from a young age is key because it makes it easier to speak another language fluently and naturally. Children pick up new sounds naturally and learn how a language is structured. Starting English early makes them mentally agile and able to handle different tasks and ideas, a valuable skill for everyday life.

Speaking and expressing themselves in English from a young age increases their enthusiasm for learning and prepares them for a global world. At CPV International School, learning English is fun. We use games, songs, stories and activities constantly to make learning English a fun adventure. From Playgroup to Kindergarten, English is central to daily communication and routines, thus creating a process of full immersion. From Year 1, natural sciences, social sciences, technology, visual arts, music, sport and English are taught in English, helping students to think in both languages.
