French-English bilingual programme
CIS offers a French-English bilingual programme to children in grades 1 to 3 ( extending to Grade 4 in August 2020 - subject to enrollment numbers). Available at our Lakeside Campus only, this programme is perfect for families who want their children to become bilingual, biliterate and bicultural in both English and French.
Programme key features:
Each class has two qualified teachers - one English speaker and one French speaker.
Instruction is fully aligned to the international Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme ( IB PYP).
Students have equal exposure to both languages with classes in English one day and French the next.
Students are taught in both languages. There is no translation or repetition.
Fees* for the French-English bilingual programme in 2018/2019 are the same as English mainstream.
