Our Program
Colegio Vancouver is a truly bilingual school, with the children starting to learn English in Kinder (3 years old). Early immersion in an English program will increase your child's potential to become fluent in English.
Kinder 1 (3 years old) is 50% English with a balance between play, physical activities, and learning activities.
Kinder 2 (4 years old) is 75% English. At this level the children begin to learn the sounds of the letters in English, and write in script.
Pre-Primary (5 years old) is bilingual; from 9-10:15 one group is in English while the other is in Spanish. At 10:45 they switch. Recess is from 10:15 to 10:45am.
All Kinder classes receive Music, P.E, and painting.
Primary (Grades 1 to 6) is also bilingual, with a half day in English and a half day in Spanish. The English program covers E.S.L. (New Parade), Language Arts (Scott Foresman Reading) as well as Science and Social Studies. Spanish is the S.E.P. program, supplemented with extra material in Grammar, Spelling and Math.
All primary students receive classes in Music, P.E., and Computer. Children have a choice of one optional class a week with a choice of either Gymnastics, Tae Kwon Do, or Dance. Demostrations of the optional classes are presented at festivals, Mini Olimpics, and other special events.
