English Language Support Goals

Every student should have the chance to achieve, reach their full potential, and most importantly, fully engage with the curriculum.

It is even more important to make sure that no one is left behind in a school where so many pupils have English as a second language.

With students coming to our school from all over the world, our English as an Additional Language (EAL) Team has the exciting task of making sure that every student has the language resources they need to fully benefit from their time at BIS.

Meet our Head of Inclusion

Sylviane is to be the contact person between the students, the parents, the external specialists, and the school, in order to adapt the learning environment to the specific needs of our students.

We explain the necessary accommodations to the teachers, and in some cases, we put in place an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) in order to provide optimal support for our students. The IEP helps us follow up on the student's progress during the school year and forms the basis for regular meetings with parents.

BIS as an inclusive school, is committed to support all students in their learning and do everything necessary to help them reach their full potential. The Learning Support Department helps teachers to implement learning strategies, differentiation and accommodations to meet the students’ needs.

Student Support

At Bogaerts International School (South Campus) we know that every child has different needs & aptitudes and that every child faces challenges at some point during their school lives. Therefore, we take a holistic approach to educating your children and we’re keen to work with you to ensure your child is empowered to overcome any social or academic barriers so that they can excel in life.

Student Wellbeing

Promoting Pro-Social Behaviours
‍
‍We believe in the inherent goodness of children and young adults and we know that given the right support and encouragement, they will make decisions for the betterment of themselves, their peers and the wider community. We aim to empower our students and provide them with the skills needed to be a well-rounded and secure life-long learner.

‍Student Counselling & Support
‍
‍We know that everyone needs a supportive ear and a shoulder to lean on from time to time. Therefore, the school has a robust team of Homeroom teachers, educators, Learning Support staff as well as a dedicated Dean of Students and Child Protection Officer to ensure every student has a responsible and supportive adult, who can work with you as parents, to help support your child in school.

Student Leadership

In order to grow the leaders of tomorrow, we must support them in being leaders today ! We strongly advocate for our students to have a voice in helping our school community function and in working together to create a vibrant school community.

From the time our students are in their first year of primary until the time they finish their IB Diploma, we formalise this voice and have elected Student Council Representatives meet regularly with school leadership to express the opinions of their peers.

Similarly, from our House Leaders to our Student Mentors to our Class Ambassadors, our students relish any opportunity to enact positive change in our community and to ensure that all interactions between our students are guided by support, care and a belief that in our community, everyone has their place.
