At BGC PCS, our advanced academics program is thoughtfully designed to foster excellence in language and literacy across all grade levels. From kindergarten through eighth grade, our Chinese and French immersion curricula are meticulously aligned with Advanced Placement (AP) standards. This alignment ensures that students develop a deep understanding of the languages and content areas, preparing them for future AP coursework and rigorous academic challenges.
In the middle school years, students engage in advanced language and literacy courses that build upon this foundation. These courses are tailored to enhance proficiency in Chinese and French, focusing on advanced language skills and sophisticated literacy practices. This specialized instruction equips students with the academic rigor needed to excel in high school AP courses and beyond, preparing them for success in college and future careers.
SEAL OF BILITERACY
The Seal of Biliteracy aligns seamlessly with Bilingual Global Citizens (BGC) PCS's advanced academic programs, which emphasize multilingual literacy and global readiness. At BGC PCS, our Advanced Academics curriculum integrates French and Chinese immersion programs with an English Language and Literacy framework. Students develop strong language skills through rigorous instruction in reading, writing, speaking, and listening across multiple languages.
The Maryland Seal of Biliteracy recognizes the exceptional proficiency students demonstrate in two or more languages. Similarly, BGC PCS prepares students to meet this benchmark by embedding advanced language learning into their daily instruction. By fostering bilingualism from an early age, BGC PCS not only prepares students to earn accolades such as the Seal of Biliteracy but also equips them with the critical language skills necessary for success in college, careers, and a globalized society. This alignment positions our students to achieve academic excellence while preparing for the diverse demands of the 21st century.
