Bilingual schools offer the teaching of at least one subject in another language - usually English. In some cases, half of the curriculum is even taught in another language. More and more schools in Switzerland - including elementary school and kindergartens - are offering bilingual teaching.

Languages are grasped and learned by children through immersion - a casual way of acquiring languages. It has been proven that bilingual teaching enables children to develop a high level of linguistic competence in both the first and second language. Thanks to early support, creativity, flexibility and knowledge horizons are also expanded. Language barriers are broken down and the children develop a good understanding of their own and the other culture at an early age, as they also experience a change of perspective through the change of language. Children who learn a second language at an early age not only learn this second language much faster, more playfully and more easily, but also improve their general language skills. The first language does not deteriorate as a result. A bilingual school offers children unique learning opportunities.
