Our school places a strong emphasis on multilingualism and the development of a student’s mother tongue. Research shows that maintaining and developing a child’s first language is crucial for:

• Cognitive development (e.g., critical thinking, literacy skills)

• Cultural identity and connection to family heritage

• Academic success in all subjects, as strong mother tongue skills support learning in additional languages.

Parents are encouraged to:

• Read, speak, and write in the mother tongue at home.

• Collaborate with teachers to reinforce language skills through school projects or cultural events.

• Provide access to books, films, and media in the mother tongue.
