Languages
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."
Nelson Mandela
It should be no surprise that the study of languages is a fundamental aspect of life at BCG. Our students represent over 30 nationalities and their understanding and appreciation of each other's cultures is one of the key strengths of our school.
Spanish is taught to all students from Early Years until the end of Year 11. All Spanish students will also study catalan over that same period of time. French is introduced to all students in year 3 and of course english is the language of instruction. When mother tongues are added, It is therefore not unusual for our students to speak three or four languages fluently by the time they reach 6th form. Our teachers are experts in their fields, all mother tongue and with huge experience.
