Bilingual Programme at GIIS Singapore
GIIS has emerged as one of the proficient bilingual schools in Singapore offering the advantage of learning dual languages
Bilingual Education at Global Indian International School in Singapore
GIIS is recognised as one of the premier bilingual education schools in Singapore that offers the highest standards of English and Mandarin as the core language programmes. Our well-designed bilingual curriculum benefits students who want to seamlessly transition into learning Math, Science, and other subjects in English. It helps students acquire linguistic awareness and proficiency.
Bilingual education helps students become good at using two languages: their first language and a second one. They learn to listen, speak, read, and write in both languages. This way, they can talk with people from different places, do well in school, and have more opportunities to live and work in different countries.
Learning two languages also helps students understand different cultures better. The aim is for students to learn in a way that includes both languages and cultures, not just studying the second language as a separate subject.
Why be bilingual?
Knowing more than one language gives an edge to students who want to develop a strong linguistic proficiency, as well as expand their horizons for future education. Providing early bilingual education to students helps them to exceptionally develop their cognitive skills and thinking capabilities. The most benefit of bilingual education comes through programmes like ours which help students build their potential in languages and diversify their outlook.
