Foreign languages classes offered by BSS:

We strongly believe that the richer a person’s language skills are, the deeper their understanding of other cultures, traditions and countries becomes. This is a key aspect in developing global citizens who are communicators, knowledgeable and reflective.

At BSS we offer a range of foreign languages in order to nurture these qualities in our students.

All pupils are exposed to a foreign language from Grade 3 and up. Not only are foreign languages important, but we strongly believe that our pupils should have a good understanding of the language of the country in which they live.

With this in mind, these are the languages studied at BSS:
