It has since won widespread approval for its creative and innovative methodology, embracing and celebrating both languages and cultures – providing children with the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n From 2021 – AZBUKA operates Nursery, Reception and all 6 year groups (Y 1- 6) of primary bilingual curriculum.<\/p>\n 2018-2021 – More people are joining AZBUKA as patrons, academic consultants, friends and governors.
