Raising Bilingual Kids
There is more to raising a bilingual child who can speak two languages
fluently and proficiently than intensive language lessons. The child is
not merely learning two languages, but is also absorbing two cultures,
getting accustomed to two learning approaches, and understanding,
realizing and experiencing the world in its diversity cognitively,
emotionally, socially and personally. At Keystone, we understand
these dynamics. This understanding is reflected in our curriculum, our
academic and co-curricular programs, and in the very ethos of our
new world school.

community service, and will come to reflect
critically on knowledge itself: what they
know and how they know it within Chinese
culture and in the wider world. Expert
college advising prepares our students to
apply for colleges and universities anywhere.
The IB programme culminates in an
International Baccalaureate Diploma — a
significant achievement recognized and
prized by universities worldwide.

“Keystone comes at the right time . . . with its
world-oriented focus, critical thinking, pedagogical
style and inquiry-based learning. Globalization
increases rather than reduces the need to
understand cultural variations.”
— Dr. Li Jin, Professor of Education and Human Development, Brown University, USA
