Bilingual Monkey Class

5 time a week 3-5 years old

A western style International Preschool.

Students may join from the Rabbit Class in the April following their 3rd or 4th birthday.
The aim of this class is to immerse the child in a completely English Preschool environment for half the day, five days a week. Even children who are just starting to learn English adapt within a few months to an all-English life, as if they were attending school in a foreign country. In preparation for Giraffe class, reading skills, are also developed. After attending the Monkey Class for 2 years, students advance to the Giraffe Class.
