We are the only school in Bermuda that provides personalized, flexible learning for children from ages 6-15 who have been assessed or diagnosed with language-based and/or attention-based learning differences.

BCCL follows the U.K. National Curriculum, the International Primary Years (IPC) and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). We integrate core subjects through project-based learning, allowing students to learn multiple subject areas through thematic units in a cross-curricular approach. This is supported by a flexible class design and community-based learning experiences — thus increasing students’ engagement.

All students want to make connections with others and have friends and teachers that care about them. We believe social and emotional learning doesn’t happen by chance, and that there needs to be a plan in place to ensure that it is ingrained into the school curriculum.

Based on the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) framework, we developed and implemented a school-wide Social-Emotional and Academic Learning Action Plan. Skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making are embedded in students’ personalized learning goals, which teachers track, along with academic goals. Students who struggle in school are also at risk for anxiety and depression. Our teachers incorporate a variety of mindfulness techniques to help students self-regulate when they are feeling stressed. The use of these holistic approaches has made a tremendous difference in students’ behaviors, leading to a positive school experience.

No. Parents are encouraged to share any assessments their child has received beforehand; however, the application process can begin before a formal diagnosis has been made. During the enrollment process, a recommendation may be made for your child to have an assessment to better understand their learning needs and any additional interventions they would benefit from.

We maintain low student-to-teacher ratios to ensure personalized support and attention. Typically, our ratio is 6:1, depending on the class and needs of the student. There are times throughout the day when students are supported in smaller groups.

Each student has a personalized learning plan, including goals to meet their academic, social and emotional growth. Teachers continually track student progress, allowing students to move year levels throughout the school year.

Specialist therapeutic interventions can be coordinated on-site during the school day as part of BCCL’s wrap-around support. Families contract directly with the service provider.

BCCL provides additional reading and math support for students at no additional cost. Through a partnership with the Reading Clinic, BCCL also provides the ICAN Math Program at no additional cost for students diagnosed with dyscalculia.

While BCCL cannot offer a high school diploma, students can remain with us until they are 15-16 years old. We provide family support to transition to their next school, whether on-island or away to continue their education.

BCCL has rolling admissions. Our teachers continually track student progress, allowing students to move up year levels throughout the school year.

Our tuition is $29,500 for the 2024-25 school year.

The BCCL advantage includes evidence-based, best teaching practices based on the U.K. National Curriculum, and the International Primary and Middle Years Curriculum created by the International Curriculum Association.
