This week we’re diving into the intersection of two transformative educational approaches: Montessori and language immersion. In this episode, we’re joined by Angela Bailey, Head of School at the International Montessori School, a unique Montessori school that blends traditional Montessori instruction with an immersive language component in three different languages.
We explore the benefits of language immersion beyond just learning a second language, including its impact on cognitive development and expanding students’ cultural understanding. What makes the Montessori method and language immersion such a perfect match? Our guest shares how these philosophies intertwine to create an enriching, holistic learning experience.
We also address misconceptions about dual-language programs, the significance of sensitive periods in language development, and practical advice for parents evaluating language immersion schools. Don’t miss this insightful conversation about how the International Montessori School is redefining education for a multilingual world!
