LE CHÂTEAU %&4 &/'"/54 (CDE) Ages 4+ -10 Boarding ages 6 -10 STUDY Our international environment encourages children’s curiosity about other languages and cultures. All CDE activities are designed to help children understand and use familiar words and phrases in their target language, which helps them become more comfortable in their new surroundings.

Class sizes are kept at 4-8 students, allowing for individual attention. Along with teacher-led games and lessons, children work both alone and in groups to make presentations and lead discussions in front of their classmates. Public speaking helps improve their confidence, and allows them to play with both language and nonverbal communication.

English as an Additional Language

As English is the principal language of the program, our EAL students quickly improve their skills. Alongside classroom activities, children hear, speak, and interact in English for most of their day, both with adults and with other children.

Italian

Ticino is an ideal location to expose children to the Italian language. Our local staff and many of our summer staff members speak the language and encourage students to use newly-acquired words whenever possible.
