Equipping pupils with English Language proficiency to unlock their future
At Brighton College (Singapore), we believe that a strong academic foundation, underpinned by proficiency in the English Language, sets the stage for future success and opens doors to global opportunities. Through our immersive and tailored approach to language acquisition, we help pupils build confidence, foster curiosity, and quickly attain English proficiency.
If your child requires additional language support, they will undergo an assessment during the admissions process to determine their current level of English. The results from an English language screener will guide appropriate placement.
Our Approach
Fully Individualised Approach
Pupils learn at different speeds, and have different needs – a fully customised approach enables pupils to obtain support and instruction in areas that are most helpful to them.
Dedicated EAL Specialists
Pupils benefit from tailored support designed to meet their daily learning needs. This includes in-class assistance and dedicated sessions outside the classroom, ensuring each child has the opportunity to thrive and make the most of their educational journey.
An Immersive Environment
A supportive home room environment, with opportunities for pupils to practise, learn, and interact with peers, it is the most ideal environment for a budding language learner to build confidence and improve proficiency in the language.
