Balanced Dual Language Immersion Approach: Our French, Chinese, and English Language and Literacy programs are designed to cultivate fluency and literacy in all three languages. Grounded in the multilingual, global science of reading framework, these programs emphasize the systematic teaching of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension based on the linguistic demands of each language. This balanced approach ensures that we provide equal instructional value and time to French or Chinese, alongside English. As a result, students build strong literacy skills across all three languages, preparing them for academic success in a multilingual environment.
College and Career Readiness (CCR): BGC PCS prepares students for success by equipping them with the academic skills and mindset needed to excel in high school and college, ensuring they are ready for the challenges ahead. Additionally, our DLI program is aligned with Advanced Placement (AP) World Language and Culture themes, providing students with a rigorous foundation in linguistic and cultural competencies that supports advanced learning opportunities and global engagement.
Critical Learning & Exposures (CLE): We design learning experiences that expand students' horizons, deepen their cultural and linguistic knowledge, and immerse them in the life of local and global communities. Our approach fosters a well-rounded and engaged worldview while giving your child the world, broadening their perspective, ensuring personal growth, and equipping them with essential life skills to succeed in a diverse and interconnected society.
