Program Description

EducatioNest – The American Bilingual School is a private, bilingual school for children aged 0-13, founded in 2016 with the vision of combining bilingualism and a research-based, experiential educational approach.

Raising bilingual children means raising open minds, rich in meaning and possibilities. International openness through exposure to languages ​​(English and Chinese) and cultures (with a rich calendar of international holidays), an experiential pedagogical approach, and a focus on art and music are the foundation of our school philosophy.

Our goal is to offer children and young people the opportunity to explore, choose, and develop the various expressive languages ​​and study and research methods that best suit them, so they can grow, learn, and then study and develop as children, young people, and young adults equipped with critical thinking and prepared for the future.
