    We help people reach their academic, personal and professional goals through English and French, taught with care and lived outside the classroom.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    1<\/span>

    Student first<\/h4>

    Every decision starts with the student: what you need to learn, and how you feel while you're here.<\/p><\/div>

    2<\/span>

    Academic excellence<\/h4>

    Qualified teachers, a clear program and real progress you can see every month.<\/p><\/div>

    3<\/span>

    Learning by living<\/h4>

    The city is part of the classroom. You use the language the same day you learn it.<\/p><\/div>

    4<\/span>

    Inclusion & respect<\/h4>

    A safe, welcoming school where students from every country feel at home.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Live learning. Love learning.<\/em><\/h2>\n

    BLI is a school that takes learning beyond the classroom. In class, you speak from day one. After class, the city gives you a reason to use what you learned.<\/p>\n
