Bilingualism

Bilingualism is a central value amongst the main Avenor College student characteristics. The term “bilingualism” refers to individuals or groups who routinely use two or more languages for communication in various contexts. At Avenor College, we define “bilingual education” to refer to the use of two languages – Romanian and English – as mediums of instruction for a series of non-language subjects.

Elements of the Cambridge curriculum and best-practice from the UK can be found in both the content and delivery of our lessons.

Throughout the school, in both the Romanian and English curriculum our teachers adapt the educational principles and methods of the Cambridge International and UK systemsin order to provide a stimulating, flexible learning environment in which each unique child is valued.

All children are taught the English language by specialist English teachers and have at least one lesson per week with a native speaker.

Further creative application of the English language is developed in Science, Art, Drama, Music, and Sports lessons, and in a wide range of co-curricular clubs.
