External student access
Tutoring, guidance, wellbeing
The student is required to use and understand the English language in informal exchanges as well as when dealing with sectorial arguments. The perfect acquisition and the fluent and natural use of the language are not, however, conceived as ultimate goals, but rather as effective tools through which to convey and consolidate solid and fundamental knowledge. For students who do not come from a bilingual educational background, a dedicated induction and tutoring process is therefore guaranteed.
In the context of the BBS Middle School, student support is a process that involves all members of the school community, supporting a relatively short but certainly intense journey, since students go through the transition from childhood to adolescence at different times, in different ways and with different experiences, with all the changes that this phase entails, both on a human and educational level.
The existence and importance of the BBS Community in terms of integrated support is functional to the definition of a school environment that favours the acquisition of knowledge, but also the formation of balanced individuals, capable of facing challenges and exploiting their full potential.

On the basis of the documentation handed in and any needs of the student, the provision of possible linguistic and didactic support is assessed as follows:
before the school year starts:
- attendance of Italian lessons, in out-of-school hours with a tutor teacher.
throughout the school career:
presence of a bilingual Italian/English tutor in some subjects with the aim of:
- facilitate the learning of more complex content through specific strategies and gradually solidify the Italian language;
- linking prior knowledge in English with new concepts in Italian;
- provide customised methodological and motivational support.
This coaching may end from the moment the student is able to continue independently.

Direct admission to BBS International High School is granted to those who have attended BBS Middle.
New Students
Entering an international school programme for students who do not come from a bilingual or international background requires a careful and structured transition. For this reason, the school offers a gradual pathway towards autonomy in the English language, based primarily on understanding each student’s starting point.
Initial Assessment of Skills
Upon entry, each student will undergo a thorough assessment of their language skills through:- an individual interview,
- standardized entry tests designed to measure comprehension, writing, and overall use of the English language.
This initial analysis allows the school to define a personalised learning pathway tailored to the specific needs of each student.
Support Provided by the School
To promote progressive and effective learning, the school provides:- 2–3 hours per week of lessons with an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, starting even in the year prior to entry into the international programme, aimed at strengthening and consolidating language foundations;
- the use of bilingual glossaries, visual aids, and simplified materials, tools that facilitate understanding of subject content;
- a gradual preparation for the IGCSE English as a Second Language exam, which serves as an international benchmark for students learning English as a second language.
