Language Immersion in English
Building essential vocabulary and establishing a foundation for bilingualism
At Avenues, learning a second language is more than an academic pursuit; it is a daily practice that transforms the way students see and think about the world. In nursery, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten, students benefit from a 100% English immersion program in which they build essential vocabulary by learning all content in English. Portuguese language is introduced in 1st grade.
An integrated Brazilian program
We take Brazilian educational standards as seriously as we do international ones. By taking an integrated curricular approach to instruction in Portuguese and English, our students attain a balanced mastery of both languages and reap the extensive cognitive benefits of bilingualism. The Brazilian national curricular components of Portuguese are included in our language curriculum at each grade level. We do not see English and Portuguese as belonging to separate silos but as two important facets of an Avenues education.
