Celebrating multilingualism

At Liceo Panamericano Centenario, we value the linguistic diversity of our students and promote an environment where languages coexist naturally, enriching learning and broadening their understanding of the world. In our classrooms, we create inspiring and inclusive spaces where the active use and appreciation of multiple languages support meaningful learning experiences.

 

Our multilingual approach reflects a strong commitment to preparing students for an increasingly interconnected world, where language skills and effective communication are essential for future success.

Early Years Elementary and Middle School Lower Secondary and Baccalaureate

Early Years

Young learners develop English through playful experiences that spark curiosity and encourage active participation. Through games, songs, stories and interactive activities, they build vocabulary and become familiar with the sounds of the language.

 

A transdisciplinary approach also connects English with other areas of learning, deepening understanding and supporting the natural use of the language from an early age.

Elementary and Middle School

Students experience multilingualism as a core pillar of learning. In 3rd grade, they prepare for Cambridge Starters; in Grade 5, for Movers; and in Grade 7, for Flyers, building their English proficiency step by step. In Grades 5 and 7, they also strengthen their skills through MAP Growth assessments and take part in oral activities that build confidence and support public speaking.

 

Together, these experiences help students develop strong communication skills and the linguistic competence to thrive in global academic and cultural contexts.

Lower Secondary and Baccalaureate

Students at these levels engage with English from an academic and international perspective, aligned with the MYP and IB Diploma Programme, fostering critical thinking and increasingly sophisticated oral and written communication.

 

Through text analysis, essays, debates, formal presentations and interdisciplinary projects, they deepen their understanding of the language and learn to express ideas with confidence and clarity. They also prepare actively for Cambridge international certifications at A2, B1 and B2 levels, building the skills and fluency needed to communicate effectively in both local and global contexts.

Empowering every learner

Through a rich mix of language experiences, we help students build the skills and resilience they need to thrive.

Personalised language assessments

Students benefit from a personalised approach to language learning. Each new student completes an initial language assessment and a questionnaire about their language profile, allowing us to understand their starting point and support their progress effectively.

Our aim is for every student to achieve at least a B2 level of English, building the skills and confidence needed to meet the demands of higher education.
