Native Level English Speaker
(Ages 4-7)

Expand your child's capabilities for learning from new experiences in an English-medium learning environment.

 

Engage in curious learning.

Our Native Level English Speaker programme is designed for young learners who speak English at home – as a first or second language – and would be starting the programme at ages 4 – 7 years.

Together we will support your child to develop a strong foundation of core skills and engage their natural curiosity and sense of exploration through a combination of educational games and activities, role play, music and storytelling.

This programme is also a perfect supplement to the needs of children who may usually be studying in French; broadening their capabilities and capacity for learning by immersing them in an English-medium learning environment.

Thank you all for the past almost 5 years at Bell – my son has always loved ‘English School’ – and for the education he has had at Bell throughout the years (and the homeworks you have always given us) and we are grateful to you all. You have contributed to our son’s development.
