Fluency in more than one language will give students a greater competitive edge for the future.
Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) adopts the Canadian curriculum, using the Alberta Programs of Study and follows the Alberta English-Chinese Bilingual model which has been operated in Edmonton, Canada for nearly 40 years.
The benefits of learning other languages are more than just the ability to speak another language. English-Chinese Bilingual education strives to provide intensive language learning environments, with the potential for high academic achievement and enriched cultural experiences that maximize student opportunities for learning. Students studying another language have superior cross-cultural skills and adapt better to varying cultural contexts. This model has been proven successful in 13 other schools in Edmonton Alberta, Canada.
At CAPCL, the medium of instruction is approximately 65% English and 35% Chinese (Mandarin with traditional script). Through bilingual education, CAPCL learners become
- proficient in both English and Chinese
- resilient in overcoming challenges
- creative in solving problems
- confident amidst changes in their environment
- responsible global citizens with a greater understanding of western and eastern cultures and broader knowledge and appreciation of different cultural values
Not only is language learning useful in preparing students for their future, but it is also mentally stimulating which in turn supports a growth mindset development.
