"Monolingualism is the illiteracy of the 21st century" (Gregg Roberts)
Welcome to Bilingual Global Citizens Public Charter School (BGC PCS), where we are dedicated to shaping the future by empowering students to become confident, globally minded leaders for a changing world. At BGC PCS, we believe that education is not just about academic excellence, but also about fostering a deep understanding of the world, promoting cultural awareness, and cultivating the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
Our school is built on the foundation of bilingual education, where students are immersed in both English and Chinese or French, giving them the invaluable gift of multilingualism. We believe that bilingualism is not just a skill, but a powerful tool that opens doors to new opportunities, perspectives, and connections. By mastering more than one language, our students are equipped to navigate an increasingly interconnected world with confidence and agility.
At BGC PCS, we embrace diversity as a strength. Our school community is rich with students and families from various cultural backgrounds, and we celebrate the unique contributions each individual brings. Through our immersive bilingual programs, students gain not only language proficiency but also a deeper appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. We aim to create global citizens who are compassionate, empathetic, and open-minded, capable of understanding and respecting people from all walks of life.
Our commitment to academic excellence is unwavering. We offer a rigorous curriculum that challenges our students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively with their peers. Our dedicated team of educators works tirelessly to provide a supportive and nurturing environment where every child can reach their full potential. We believe that every student has the ability to succeed, and we are here to guide them on that journey.
Beyond academics, BGC PCS places a strong emphasis on character development and leadership. We encourage our students to take responsibility for their learning, act with integrity, and demonstrate leadership both inside and outside the classroom. Through various programs and initiatives, we instill in them the values of respect, perseverance, and community service, preparing them to be thoughtful, engaged citizens who contribute positively to society.
As a school, we are committed to partnering with our families and the broader community to create a supportive network for our students. We believe that education is a collaborative effort, and we value the input, involvement, and support of our families in helping our students thrive.
We invite you to join us at Bilingual Global Citizens PCS, where we are dedicated to creating an inclusive, innovative, and inspiring environment that fosters lifelong learning and global leadership. Together, we can help our students become the leaders of tomorrow, ready to make a difference in the world. Welcome to the BGC PCS family!
