About the ESL Department
Bina Bangsa School is establishing a new English as a Second Language (ESL) Department, separate from the mainstream school, designed specifically to support expatriate students who require additional English language development before or alongside their academic studies.
This department will provide intensive English language instruction and academic language support to help students succeed in subjects such as English, Science, and Mathematics. The program will serve students from Primary, Secondary, and Junior College levels.
As the program is designed to accelerate English acquisition, the department will operate on a non-academic calendar, meaning classes may also run during school holidays to provide continuous learning opportunities.
