ITSW
You can be a Parent, Guardian, Student or simply someone looking for the best educational institution to be. In ITSW you will find an exceptional nursery, pre-school and primary school built on a solid ground of values and deep engagement in the education of the young.
Nursery
Nursery is the best time to learn foreign languages. Until the age of three we are talking about early bilingualism or trilingualism. The child learns the language in a natural way as a mother tongue if "immersed", "surrounded" by the language, and associating one person with the language. This is how children learn in our nursery.
Pre-school
If a three year old did not attend a nursery and was not immersed in a foreign language, from 3 to 6 years he or she will learn the second or third language through consecutive learning. This means that the child will learn the language spontaneously, but will filter it through a subconscious knowledge of the mother tongue.
Primary school
Students who have completed our nursery/preschool naturally continue their education in a given language of education. However, we have students who have not acquired knowledge of the three languages in the first years of life. In this case, after the age of six, they learn according to the pattern of late bilingualism or trilingualism, and their mother tongue becomes a filter for the structures of a foreign language.

Does my child have to speak fluent English or French to learn at ITSW? Which means that the main language of instruction is English or French?

The main language of instruction is the language in which children will have the most classes. They do not learn English / French, but are taught in these languages in the same way a child in the US is taught in English or a child in France is taught in French. This means that children acquire school skills such as reading, writing, mathematics, and social sciences in the main language of instruction. Such teaching is often referred to as CLIL (Integrated Language Integrated Learning).
