Can my child enroll in Bradford International Virtual School if they don’t speak English?
Sí. Aunque nuestros programas contienen un alto nivel de inglés, ofrecemos cursos de nivelación para los estudiantes que no cumplen con el nivel requerido. Antes de la inscripción, realizamos pruebas diagnósticas para evaluar el nivel de inglés del solicitante. Si se necesita apoyo adicional, los estudiantes pueden tomar un curso de nivelación junto con su plan de estudios regular. Este curso tiene un costo mensual adicional y se descontinuará una vez que el estudiante demuestre el nivel de competencia requerido a través de evaluaciones periódicas realizadas mediante MOOCs (Cursos Masivos Abiertos en Línea).
