LinguaPlay-Beckenham was founded in 2008 and was the first LinguaPlay school. Until 2013, the school was located in Bromley, and it was during these years that we developed and tested our approach and curricula to children’s bilingualism.
LinguaPlay-Beckenham today is an effective system of teaching Russian language to children from early childhood to successful completion of GCSE and A-Level qualifications.
Our goals and objectives
Our school is dedicated to fostering Russian-English bilingualism in children starting from age 3, particularly those enroled in English-language mainstream schools. We also aim to support the most comprehensive development of the Russian language for children with different linguistic backgrounds.
We achieve this goal by focusing on the following key objectives:
- We aim for early and effective Russian language acquisition by utilising highly effective methods developed and refined by LinguaPlay over the past 17 years.
- We ensure continuous language development by nurturing Russian language skills throughout a child’s education in small groups tailored by level, age, and learning goals.
- We facilitate reinforcement of learning through home support, creating conditions for practice throughout the week with the help of Russian-speaking parents and school-developed materials.
- We focus on nurturing a supportive learning environment, cultivating an atmosphere where each child’s full emotional and linguistic potential can flourish during the school day.
- We prioritize developing creativity by fostering students’ potential through the mediums of visual and dramatic arts.
Our school is an academic institution committed to a high standard of education.
