Two Languages, Twice the Learning

Many children at our school grow up with more than one language — and that’s something to celebrate! Research shows that children learn best when they keep their first language strong. Using your home language every day actually helps your child’s learning in English too.

Why keep your home language?

• It builds a strong foundation for learning English.
• It helps children understand schoolwork more deeply.
• It supports family connections and cultural pride.

What you can do at home

• Tell stories or read books in your home language.
• Talk about school in the language you know best.
• Celebrate your culture and traditions together.

A lifelong gift

Being bilingual is a gift. Children who grow up with two or more languages often have stronger thinking skills, better problem-solving, and a deeper sense of identity. Keeping your home language strong today helps your child’s learning and confidence for the future.
