As the job
market is becoming ever more international in a globalised world, mastery of
the English language is seen a key skill and a fundamental requirement across
the board.
Good
language skills also open the door to further prospects, in one’s personal
development, at school and in employment.
The John
F. Kennedy School Erfurt educates your children bilingually.
Considering the large appeal and the significant success of our English
language classes on offer, we have become a highly sought-after school.
The basis
of our bilingual teaching concept is immersion. Over the past 30 years, this
method has proven its worth in many countries. The earlier one begins the
immersion in another language, the more noticeable the results will be
regarding the acquisition of the second language and good school performance in
general.
In the
English language classes, Maths and Science are taught in the English language
by native speakers.
We focus
on subject-specific content.
The
teaching materials are most often in English.
In the German-speaking
classes, the subject of English is taught from Year 1 onwards for 4 hours a
week.
As one of
the few Cambridge English Preparation Centres in Germany, we offer
pupils from Year 4 the opportunity to attain the internationally recognised
Cambridge language certificate. As part of the preparation for the test,
pupils receive an additional hour of English lessons per week.
