Languages are indispensable for the citizens of a globalized world, for multinationals and enterprises are in need not only of polyglot team members, but also familiar with and adaptable to other cultures. Knowing various languages will guarantee for your child multiple competitive and professional advantages.
One of the secrets to achieving this feat at the Montessori British School is our students' contact with languages from a preschool age, when they practice them like their first language in a very natural way.
