What to expect from a trilingual school? Benefits for children's development

Choosing the right school for your children is one of the most important decisions. That time comes and you have to make a decision. In an increasingly global world, many families are looking for educational models that prepare their children to communicate, live and function in different environments and cultures. In this context, a international trilingual school offers a unique opportunity: to learn and live in three languages from an early age in order to integrate them naturally into everyday life.

The Lycée français Molière in Saragossa is an example of how a international and trilingual education can be solid, coherent and close, while respecting the learning rates and accompanying each child in his or her academic and personal development.

Learning three languages simultaneously and naturally

In trilingual schools, languages are generally not presented as isolated content but as living tools of communication. That is to say, pupils listen, speak, read and write in French, Spanish and English at different times, in different subjects and in different parts of the day.

Progressive linguistic immersion adapted to each stage of the process

Initially, in Maternelle (Children) learning is developed through play, music, stories and constant interaction with the environment. Languages are incorporated spontaneously, without pressure and respecting the individual rhythm of each child.

At Élémentaire (Primary) linguistic structures are consolidated and progressively more complex reading, writing and speaking activities are introduced. The aim is always to maintain the everyday and functional use of the three languages.

As they grow and advance, at the stage of Collège (ESO), In the second half of the 1990s, students already use French, Spanish and English as tools for learning content: researching, presenting, debating and collaborating. They are now highly integrated and all languages become a «vehicle» for academic thinking.

In the last stage of the students, Lycée (Baccalaureate), language skills are perfected. Students argue with precision, develop personal work and prepare for further studies in national and international environments.

Cognitive and emotional benefits of trilingualism for learners

Key benefits of multilingual learning

  • Increased mental flexibility and problem-solving skills.
  • Improved memory and ability to concentrate.
  • Developing more accurate active listening.
  • Ease of learning other languages later on.
  • Increased confidence in communicating in a variety of contexts.

Learning with a holistic educational approach, not just a linguistic one.

The trilingual education at the Lycée français Molière is developed within the French pedagogical framework, internationally recognised for its humanistic approach, academic rigour and the construction of critical thinking. This translates into:

  • Understanding rather than memorising.
  • Valuing autonomy in learning.
  • Develop creativity and argumentative skills.
  • Work on individual responsibility and cooperation.

In addition to this, emotional accompaniment is also present through tutorials and dialogue spaces. In this way, each pupil grows with security, balance and confidence.

To have an international and close educational community

If there is one thing that influences day-to-day life as much as everything we have said so far, it is the people. All those professionals who form part of the schools and, in this case, of our Lycée français Molière. It is something that families value very positively, the fact of having a community. Students live with people of different nationalities who have had different cultural experiences and learn to listen, share and build together. The link between teachers and families is close and favours a coherent and accompanied education.

If you were wondering what to expect from a trilingual school, we hope this article has resolved some of your concerns or doubts. From the international trilingual school in Zaragoza We prepare children for the real world, teach them to communicate naturally in different environments and accompany them in the development of an open and confident identity.

The importance of sport at the Lycée: it strengthens health, values and all-round development.

For us this goes beyond physical education, which, by the way, were you one of those who loved it or hated it? Sport in the Lycée Français Molière de Saragossa is much more than just physical activity: it is an essential tool for the holistic development of pupils. It helps to promote health, coordination, teamwork and the acquisition of values such as effort, solidarity and respect.

From nursery to baccalaureate, at our Lycée, sport is integrated into academic and social education, helping pupils to grow up aware of the importance of healthy habits in the different areas of their lives.

Benefits of sport in childhood: coordination, balance and socialisation

And yes, sport is for everyone. From the first years of kindergarten, pupils participate in psychomotricity sessions designed to improve coordination, balance and body awareness. These early activities not only reinforce physical development, but also teach notions of space, time and cooperation, which are later applied in academic learning and daily living.

In addition, the Lycée offers numerous extracurricular activities so that pupils can continue to explore different sporting disciplines, discover new interests and enjoy exercise in a fun and motivating environment. These proposals complement classroom training and reinforce values such as cooperation, effort and self-improvement.

In this way, sport becomes a fun and vital element in their day-to-day lives, as well as generating healthy lifestyle habits and a sense of belonging. positive attitude towards physical activity.

Sport and academic education: the perfect combination

In the French education system, physical education is part of the baccalauréat assessment. Students are valued not only for their physical abilities, but also for their ability to work as part of a team, respect rules and manage their effort. This shows that sport is considered as important as academic subjects, contributing to the overall development of the student.

In case there was any doubt, sport at the Lycée Français Molière in Saragossa is a essential educational tool as it not only helps to take care of the body, but also forms part of the integral education of each student, preparing them to face the challenges of the future with confidence and motivation.

3 games for practising languages with children at home

If your children are learning languages during the school year, In addition, maintaining contact outside the school environment can help to refresh memory and skills. From our international and trilingual school we want to accompany families outside the classroom as well. We are all looking for different ways to disconnect and entertain ourselves, but we know that the important learnings should not be put on hold.

Today we share 3 games to practise languages with children at home, with special attention to the French. Our aim is that you can continue to reinforce what you learn during the course or introduce new words in a fun way.

1. “Je vois, je vois...”

The «I see, I see» is one of our favourites! It's perfect for reinforcing basic French vocabulary while having a fun time. The idea is to choose a visible object and give a clue about its initial or its colour, for example:

  • Je vois, je vois... quelque chose qui commence par la lettre R.
  • Je vois, je vois... quelque chose de bleu.

In this way, children practise both comprehension and pronunciation and consolidate vocabulary in a playful way. If they are at a higher level, they can describe the object: “C'est petit, rond et rouge.” This will help them to enrich their sentences and gain fluency.

2. Crazy instructions in French

Have you ever played it? It's a fun game to practice commands, verbs of movement and oral comprehension in French. The adults give simple (or nonsensical) instructions for the children to follow:

  • Saute trois fois.
  • Cours jusqu'à la porte et touche-la avec ton coude.
  • Recut in saying your favourite fruit.

The laughs are guaranteed! As well as reinforcing vocabulary and comprehension, it is ideal to lose the fear of expressing yourself in another language as confidence and fun come first.

3. Vocabulary Memory

The third of our proposals: A vocabulary memory. This game requires a little more preparation, but you can use it as many times as you like.

Create cards with pictures and words in French. The aim is to match picture and correct word and pronounce it by finding the correct match. It is a very visual resource that helps them to expand vocabulary and reinforce visual and auditory memory. If the children are older, you can include short phrases or questions in French that they have to read and understand when matching.

Who would like to play? Any of these three options for games to practise languages at home is ideal for keeping French (and other languages) alive outside the school environment.

If you are interested in offering your children a full multilingual education, we invite you to learn more about our educational project and discover how we can help them to grow by mastering French, English and Spanish in a natural, solid and progressive way from the earliest stages. We will be delighted to accompany you.
