Embracing multilingualism and global citizenship

Students develop English language proficiency through a structured, multi-tiered English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme. Designed to strengthen listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, this approach enables learners to access the curriculum while building both social and academic language. By learning content and language side by side in our bilingual school in Thailand, students progress with confidence in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Students receive targeted English language support from qualified specialists, based on their proficiency levels. They collaborate with staff, maintain a home-school partnership and report regularly to ensure personalised learning. This tailored approach allows students to work in small groups, ensuring they receive the attention they need to succeed.

Students use their language skills to think, communicate and grow. Translanguaging is at the heart of our multilingual, inclusive curriculum. Students use their home languages alongside others to enhance learning, share ideas and connect with their identities. This approach builds positive attitudes and deepens understanding.

Students develop core French language skills through our FLSco (Français Langue de Scolarisation – French Language Schooling) programme. At BCIS, with guidance from qualified teachers in small groups or one-to-one sessions, they build fluency, strengthen communication and access the curriculum with confidence in a multilingual environment.

Students get support through our FLSco programme, starting in CP (Cours préparatoire) from a young age. Children in small groups receive dedicated help with French throughout their school day, up to Collège.

Students become confident bilingual communicators in BCIS. The multilingual curriculum gradually integrates international students into the French programme. As students' progress, they’ll need a level B2 of French to enrol in Middle school and level C1 for Secondary school.
