At Agape School of Education, we believe that learning a language is essential for a growing child as it helps to ensure that they develop in terms of cultural and intellectual capacities. When a child learns a second language, he/she is guaranteed to benefit the following amongst several others:
1. Overcoming language loss and performing well in other mainstream subjects related to culture, science, and humanities, amongst others.
2. It increases the child’s self-esteem as this helps him/her to hold positive attitude towards his/her mother tongue or that which he/she learns in place of it.
