WHY ENGLISH?
One of the peculiarities of Hopla Nursery and Primary School is that it individualizes itself by the constant teaching of the English language by native and bilingual teachers in order to facilitate learning in a developmental stage where the acquisition of the foreign language comes naturally and without difficulties.
Educational, recreational, creative and learning activities are studied and proposed in a simple and engaging way, so that the English language is perceived by the child in a more familiar way, tested and proposed as a means of communication by the single and in group.
Method
The teachers invite and stimulate children not to a work of mere translation but to the creation and participation in activities that engage them in the everyday use of the English language in the form of songs, nursery rhymes and role play through a playful approach. English is not learned in an educational and impersonal way but in an engaging and exciting way.
Goals
Hopla Nursery and Primary School is therefore proposed as a privileged place where children can enrich their cultural baggage and the vocabulary of the foreign language. This is to assure the confident growth of the child’s communicative and interpersonal skills in a world of constant changes and with an even more present multiculturalism.
Hours
To meet families’ needs and work commitments, Hopla Nursery and Primary School provides part-time or full-time schedules. The school opens at 7.30 am and welcomes children until 8.30.
