Our students

BSB enjoys an impressive track record of academic achievement, with students advancing to a wide array of esteemed universities globally. In the field of Languages, our students not only achieve outstanding examination results but also find joy in learning languages, while developing cultural awareness and the communication skills essential for their future studies or careers.

Languages taught

The Secondary school at BSB currently provides instruction in French, German, Spanish, and Dutch. Both French and Dutch, the two primary national languages, are available at First and Second Language levels. French is taught as the first additional language across all grades and is mandatory for students until the end of Year 11. The second additional language is required from Year 7 to Year 9 and becomes optional in Years 10 and 11. Nevertheless, over two-thirds of each cohort choose to continue both languages for certification at the end of Year 11. Offered qualifications include IGCSE for German, Spanish, and French Second Language; DELF B2 for French First Language; and CNaVT B1 or B2 for Dutch.

All four languages are also available at the post-16 level, either as GCE A levels or as part of the IB Diploma.
