• (ii) Developing Multilingual Skills Among the Children:

Living in 21st century, it is very important that children are fluent in theinternational languages (i.e. English, Chinese, French).Therefore, it is veryimportant to teach them these languages from a young age in order to make themglobally competitive Citizens. Our foundation will organize teaching sessions ondifferent internationally used languages on a regular basis to the children (startingfrom Grade 1).
