ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE AND LEARNING SUPPORT NEEDS

The British College of Brazil is an English-speaking school, and therefore having a good grasp of the language is a significant advantage. We do provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, although there is a limit on the number of students we can cater to.

We can also assist students with additional learning needs, depending on the level of support required. To find out more, please speak to our admissions team when you start the application process.
