Welcome back, students, parents, and Brif staff! We’re thrilled to kick off the 2023-2024 school year with excitement. This year, we’ve prepared exciting updates and projects to make your academic journey even more enriching and enjoyable. But first, let’s briefly revisit what British & French Academy has to offer.

Our program is 100% bilingual, providing a complete immersion in both the French and English languages. Inspired by the educational curricula of Benin and Ghana, it offers students a solid foundation in both educational systems, creating a unique and enriching learning experience.

This bilingual approach goes beyond mere language acquisition. It allows learners to develop a deep understanding of the cultures and nuances unique to both languages. Our students are not just linguistic bilinguals, but also bicultural thinkers, ready to adapt and excel in diverse environments.

One of the program’s strengths is the diverse perspectives it offers for the professional future of learners. By mastering academic skills in both languages, students are prepared to successfully engage in the Francophone and Anglophone spheres. Whether pursuing higher education, working in international contexts, or even starting their own business, our students are equipped with linguistic and cultural versatility that sets them apart in the global job market.

The advantage of our bilingual program lies in the flexibility it offers learners. They can choose to pursue their careers in Francophone countries such as Benin, France, or Canada, while remaining competent and comfortable in Anglophone contexts like the UK, the US, or Australia.
