Bilingualism (Portuguese and English)
At Serendipity School, we are committed to delivering a truly comprehensive bilingual education in English. By “comprehensive,” we mean an academic, cultural, aesthetic, and ethical formation that reflects both (A) the highest standards of each subject and (B) democratic and humanistic values in both Portuguese and English.‍
Beyond part-time bilingual instruction in English, we also offer French and Italian starting in Pre-school I, treating them as enriching additional languages. These programs are integrated into “Listening, Speaking, Thinking, and Imagination (Early Childhood) and “Languages” (Elementary School).
The benefits of bilingualism are far-reaching:
1. Cognitive: A deeper mastery of the native language, coupled with enhanced creativity, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills.
2. Academic: Research shows that bilingual students often outperform monolingual peers in both mathematical reasoning and literacy.
