Teaching Methods

In BCS, besides letting children have fun and interact with their classmates, we also would like to provide them with the necessary bases of knowledge. Our educational system consists of two, sequential parts: the primary, and the secondary school in aa 6- 6 years distribution. Our philosophy is that in the primary school our main aim is to teach children how to learn, the good concept, method of taking in new information and storing it for a lifetime. (And of course writing-reading-counting in the beginning - we also put a great emphasis on correct grammar). After embracing this kind of knowledge, pupils can learn actually important information, that they are going to need in their life - and for this, they can (in the beginning, slightly, later more) personalize their timetable, choose wha do they want to have more lessons of. This way they can start to orientate earlier in the direction of university.

We also find it extremely important not to handle kids as studying-machines - we want them to like to come to school! That's the reason why we don't have 30-40 pupils/class, our biggest groups contain 17 pupils. This way they all get the amount of attention they need and don't get lost in the mass.

We hope that this way all our students will enjoy the time they have spent at our school, and develop into happy grown-ups.

The Weekly Planner

On the first day of the newcomers , every and each child recieves a self-assessment test, focusing on time management both at school and home, and ont he source of their basic motivation. Based on this test each and every student will recieve a personal weekly planner to develop these abilities. (The weekly planner is not obligatory, but is indeed helpful for students struggling with time management problems and setting goals.) This weekly planner consists of a „To Do List”, a „Homework Planner” and a „Semester Calendar „ containing all of the events organised by BCS.

Study Groups

At BCS, we believe int he power of groupwork. Children blessed with good teaching skills can help children with difficulties at a certain subject. These study groups come handy for children in later life: not only do they learn the benefits of co-operation, but they enjoy helping each other and therefore they learn better.
