Bilingual

The term bilingual refers to the ability to understand, speak, read and write fluently in two languages. In educational environments, bilingual programs offer teaching of varied subjects in two languages, promoting broader learning that is connected to the world.

Why bilingual education is important?

There are several reasons to invest in a bilingual program. Because of globalization, knowing more than one language expands the possibilities for communication, study and work. Furthermore, bilingual students tend to develop greater cognitive flexibility, critical thinking and cultural sensitivity. In short, it is an essential skill for the 21st century.
