What does it mean to be bilingual? To understand, speak, read and write in two languages
In addition to giving them the ability to communicate with many people, children greatly benefit from bilingual instruction. Learning two languages is a long process taking place over several years. Choosing a bilingual education for one’s child is a very important decision, but it must also be a family project. It is a specific and fascinating journey: the child must get support from both his/her family and the school.

Advantages of bilingual education
It is beneficial to develop bilingualism in early childhood. Studies have shown that children have the capacity to learn a new language more naturally than adults or teenagers do. Young children acquire foreign languages easily and quickly. Children learning two or more languages expand their view of the world, and better prepare themselves for a future where the ability to adapt will be key.
