Why choose Winford Bilingual
We provide equal instruction in Dutch and English through our tailored, dual immersion programme. Throughout the school day, the children will be completely immersed in both languages, and learn to switch easily between Dutch and English with their teachers and their friends. We call this approach ‘dual immersion’. The aim of our dual immersion education is to teach children to be fluent in two languages, rather than simply competent.Each classroom has two native-speaking teachers, one Dutch and one
English. Our school is designed to be a nurturing environment where every child's individuality is celebrated, and learning is an exciting lifelong journey.
If you are looking for a school that helps your child to become truly bilingual, curious, independent, with a sense of community and a love for learning - then Winford Bilingual is for you!
