The Middle School welcomes students from 6th to 8th Grade.

All mainstream students will study French and are encouraged to begin a third language from 6th Grade. Students are encouraged to continue studying their mother tongue.

Brillantmont International School understands that students who are learning English as an additional language (EAL) need time to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to follow classroom instruction at the level of mainstream students. It is for this reason that Brillantmont offers an intensive programme of specialist English tuition.

Students will enter the EAL programme following an initial evaluation which will determine the areas of priority for study and also the length of time required within the programme. With hard work, the expectation is that students will enter into mainstream classes between 18 and 24 months.

It is important that EAL students feel a sense of integration at the same time as receiving specialist instruction. It is for this reason that EAL students will attend all Humanities, Mathematics, Science, creative and sporting activities with their peers as well as the PSHE and Citizenship courses essential to all students at Brillantmont.
