How to Choose a Bilingual School for Your Child?

“How to Choose a Bilingual School for Your Child?” is an afternoon of expert insights and conversations designed to give parents a clearer understanding of what bilingual education looks like in practice, its distinctive features and the benefits it can offer children from an early age.

They will be joined by Éléonore Vidal de la Blache, Education Consultant, who will explore the different approaches to bilingual learning, what makes bilingual education unique, and the key questions parents may wish to consider when thinking about their child's educational journey, particularly during the preschool and primary years.

Representatives from three Parisian schools will also be sharing their insights into teaching, learning and everyday school life:

• Lennen Bilingual School, founded in 1960 and Paris's oldest French-American bilingual school, with a long-established reputation for educational excellence and a vibrant international community, supported by an extensive network of families and alumni in Paris and around the world.
• United Nations Nursery School, Paris's oldest nursery school, founded in 1915 and affiliated with the UNESCO Associated Schools Network.
• École Bilingue Chardin, a new generation of bilingual education in Paris, combining a contemporary, cosmopolitan outlook with a refined educational approach that places art, culture and creativity at the heart of the learning experience.

Together, they will offer families a glimpse into the different ways bilingual education comes to life in the classroom and beyond.

The event is entirely free of charge, and the Musée en Herbe will also be offering free activities for children throughout the afternoon, so families are very welcome to take their children along!
