FAQs

Non-English mother-tongue students are welcome provided their level of English allows them to follow the curriculum effectively – we are a school for children of the world. Detailed entrance requirements by programme are available through consultation with the Director of Admissions.

We are happy to welcome you to BSG at any time!  
To successfully enrol, we’ll help you submit the following documents: 

  • Application for Enrolment, signed by a parent or guardian.  
  • Proof of payment of the registration fee (950.-CHF) and one-off Capital Development Fee (3,000 CHF)).

  • Are you already attending a school? Then, we will also need a recent report from your current institution! 

Our goal is to give your child the best support possible. We continuously look for learning opportunities and gather data and evidence to support personalised learning journeys, ensuring every child has the support to reach beyond their potential. At BSG, we make comprehensive use of GL Assessments for students from Year 3 to Year 13 These assessments help us understand your child's strengths and the areas where they can grow. We also access: 

  • Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4): evaluates a student’s reasoning abilities in verbal, non-verbal, quantitative, and spatial domains. This helps us understand their cognitive strengths and learning preferences.  
  • New Group Reading Test (NGRT): This assessment measures reading and comprehension skills, helping us identify your child’s reading level and areas for improvement. 

  • Lucid Exact (LUCID):  This tool screens for dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties, ensuring we provide the right support for students with additional learning needs. 

  • Progress Test Series (PT): These tests assess English, Maths, and Science knowledge, allowing us to monitor academic progress and identify areas where additional support might be needed. 

By gathering real time evidence and using data from these assessments, we tailor our approach to meet the wonderfully unique needs of every student, ensuring they receive the personalised support they need to succeed.

We understand that life doesn't always stick to deadlines, and neither do we when it comes to welcoming new students into our community! This is why we accept applications at any time throughout the year, without the worry of missing out or falling behind. Whether it's the beginning of the academic year or halfway through, rest assured that your child will receive the attention and support they need to seamlessly integrate into our vibrant learning environment. 

Our admissions policy ensures that the school follows fair and appropriate procedures in reviewing all applications and offering places at BSG.
