More than learning English

At Brighton, bicultural means going beyond learning English: it is living the language within a school experience that brings students closer to another culture, another way of communicating and a more global view of the world.

We do not treat English as an isolated class. We integrate it into academic life and school culture, so it becomes a real tool for learning and communication.

How English is lived at Brighton

Not as a separate class, but as part of everyday life: in projects, in classes and in the school culture.

A progressive path, stage by stage

English grows with your child: from early exposure to consolidation with international certification in 6th and 9th grade.

Kindergarten Early, natural exposure

Elementary Progressive foundations in projects and classes

6th Preparation for international certification

7th–8th Academic use with greater autonomy

9th Consolidation + international certification

Progress by level is confirmed each school year and supported according to each student’s starting point.

International certifications

We prepare students for international English certification (Oxford) at two key stages of their journey.
