NEW YORK’S FAIR HAPPENS IN…
About The Bilingual Fair
As the bilingual revolution has grown, more options have become available for educating children, both in the private and public sector. More parents understand the benefits of bilingual education, and want to find the right opportunities for their child.
Organized by the web magazine French Morning, the Bilingual Education Fair is the premier event for all those interested in the movement that’s changing the curriculum of so many schools and the futures of so many kids across the country.
The fair is geared toward parents looking to find out about bilingual education. The best of the bilingual education community are under one roof and ready to answer questions. Exhibitors (schools, publishers, educational businesses, camps) all practice and promote bilingual education in a wide variety of languages (French, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, German, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, and more).
