Explore Our Programs
Our active curriculum goes beyond traditional language lessons to offer three distinct tracks: choose BSP Classic for a well-rounded foundation in language; step up to BSP Global Citizenship (13+) to build critical thinking through global perspectives; or dive into BSP STEM (13+) to fuel an innovative mindset through science and technology.
Classic
Our teachers have been trained to create an active learning environment through the use of games, projects, portfolio development and a wide variety of other activities. Daily classes include a variety of English lessons on grammar, reading, writing, and oral skills. The curriculum includes science, ecology, geography and leadership. These topics were thoughtfully crafted by our very own Bodwell teachers, and they align seamlessly with our weekly program themes.
