Why BCLC
The British educational system is founded on learning through practical and intuitive teaching; it encourages teamwork and establishes clear objectives that guarantee continuity in the educational process in which students participate.
Our pupils enjoy excellent facilities surrounded by a natural environment that allow them to have fun, learn and grow through daily relationships with their classmates and teachers.
Encourages individualized learning
Each child is unique and develops individually, each with different abilities, their own strengths and weaknesses. At BCLC, each child knows the goals she/he is to achieve and receives positive reinforcement and ongoing support from their teachers. This is key to ensuring that students are motivated and strive to improve.
Much more than learning a new language
Choosing a British education at BCLC means much more than learning a new language. It is not simply a matter of choosing an education in English so that our children can access the best universities or have greater job opportunities, but it also means giving them the opportunity to access an extremely professional educational system, with the highest quality of teaching and learning.
We place special emphasis on continuous assessment and are committed to consistent performance, rather than one-off performances at key points, such as final exams or submission of assignments.
Teach for the future
Our curriculum aims to ensure that students not only possess knowledge, but are also able to think, reflect, and continue to learn throughout their lives.
We guide students to be confident and better global citizens, being responsible not only to themselves, but also in the way they treat others. Enabling them to be tolerant and feel free to develop their own opinions and values and to make their own decisions in the future.
“There is real care in the community and the relationships between teachers and pupils are very strong”
