Offering Bilingual education to students, the academic program is designed for an international student body, with classes taught in the French and English language. Typically, pupils will learn the basics of reading and writing in French in the final year of the Pre-Primary section (ages five to six), whilst continuing to learn spoken English.[1] The primary school follows the Cambridge Primary Programme (CPP) and Belgian approved curriculum.[2]

With the contents of liberal arts and sciences, BICS offers studies in mathematics, science, history, Latin, and English and French language and literature.[3] BICS incorporates extracurricular within its programme, including options of tennis, swimming and performing arts.[4]
