Teaching team

Observe, guide, encourage.

At every age, educators connect learning, independence, and life within the group.

Supporting pupils in the classroom

With toddlers

Educators support emerging language, sensory exploration, movement, and the first routines of independence. Attention to everyday routines helps children join the group.

In preschool, ages 3–6

The team guides early reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Practical activities and a mixed-age classroom offer opportunities for cooperation and independent work.

In elementary school, CP–CM2

Support connects reading comprehension, writing, mathematical reasoning, and scientific enquiry. Projects invite pupils to explain their work and collaborate.

Talking about progress

Communication with families is part of ongoing support. BSA’s curriculum describes observations, formative assessments, progress reports, and parent–teacher meetings.

Preparing a conversation with the team

State the intended programme, your child’s languages, and schooling experience. Describe a specific situation when discussing progress or a difficulty. The goal is to share useful reference points; sensitive medical or personal information should go through the channel specified by administration.

Understanding ongoing educational support

The published programme mentions observation, formative assessment, and parent–teacher communication. These approaches support discussion of current skills and next steps. Ask how this works in your child’s programme and who handles classroom questions.

Meet us at BSA

Observe, guide and encourage

The educator’s role connects practical activities with learning, observes progress and supports independence. The bilingual pathway includes French and English throughout the school experience.

A useful conversation during your visit

Ask who will be your child’s main contact, how the team works across both languages and how observations are shared with families. Discuss your child’s routines, interests and the areas you would like to support.

Understand each teacher’s experience

Meeting the school gives families an opportunity to discuss the training, teaching experience and responsibilities of the people who will support their child.

Bilingual support at every stage

BSA’s published teaching information describes educators who support French and English learning through practical activities, observation and communication with families. Discover how this support develops across the three programmes.
