Bilingual Buds, Summit NJ:
Located just 20 minutes west of Newark, Bilingual Buds is a comprehensive language immersion day school for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school students (Grades 1-5). We offer immersion programs in both Mandarin and Spanish - two of the most highly spoken languages in the world. Bilingual Buds maintains a collaborative, "small school" culture that gives children a feeling of belonging.

Mandarin / Spanish Dual Language Envirionment:

Our immersion environments engage students in multi-sensory and inquiry-based activities that foster strong critical-thinking and creative problem solving skills. Our accelerated curriculum provides academic challenge in two languages, while our individualized attention allows students the freedom to ask, to explore, and to enjoy learning.

Day School Language Immersion Courses (Spanish / Mandarin)
- Preschool (ages 2-4) - Dual-language preschool program with an academic focus.
- Pre K / Kindergarten (ages 4-6) - Dual academic Kindergarten program that welcomes capable Pre K students.
- Grades 1-5 - Offering an accelerated, inquiry-based curriculum in both English and the target language.

Additional Courses:

Benefits of Dual Language Education:

As bilingual research supports, skills acquired in one language transfer to another, allowing our students to learn efficiently, make connections, and approach concepts from multiple angles. Our own assessment results in English and the target language support these findings.

Parent Testimonials:
"The commitment and enthusiasm of the teachers is beyond anything we have seen.  Our kids love going to school and we feel their progress is a direct result of the efforts and attitude of the teaching staff.  Thank you Bilingual Buds!"
 – Andrew P.

"Bilingual Buds has no parallel. They offer a superbly unique education, providing differentiated instruction in a warm environment with mastery of a second language to boot! My family was among the first to enroll and we stayed for several years.
– AnnMarie M.

"I love how Bilingual Buds is a true Mandarin immersion school, with teachers who are native speakers. However, the best part about the school is that my two-year old daughter loves it! The teachers are warm and caring, and the class size is small so she has the opportunity to form close relationships with each of her classmates."
– Joyce F.
