At Britt Academy, we believe that mastering English is essential for our Spanish-speaking students’ academic and professional success.
That’s why our educational program is built on a strong bilingual foundation, empowering students to develop effective communication skills in English while preserving and strengthening their native Spanish. For our English-speaking students, our bilingual curriculum—introduced from Kindergarten—helps them refine their Spanish skills, allowing them to truly integrate into the culture and community of the country they call home.
Students have the chance to earn certification at the end of each educational stage so at Elementary, Middle-School and High School. This structured approach allows us to build on the bilingual foundation established in Kindergarten, ensuring continuous development and assessment of language skills as students progress through Britt Academy and we prepare them for University or their chosen career.
The Advantages of the Cambridge Certification.
Your children are part of Orbital Education’s global community, and in order for Britt students to become true global citizens, they will all take Cambridge assessments in Grades 6, 9 and 12 at three points in their Britt journey from the prestigious Cambridge University. This 800-year-old centre of learning, based in the United Kingdom. It, is presently ranked as the second best University in the World.
If your child goes through the Britt language pathway, with a positive commitment to learning, they will have a level of English that will give them the possibility of entering both local and world-class international ones. It will ensure your children achieves a level of English that will last their entire lifetime.
In partnership with International House, Grade 6 will take the assessment linked to the ‘basic’ level of the Common European Framework, Secondaria 3, the ‘independent’ level. The Cambridge University IELTS qualification taken by students in Bachillerato 3 is the most widely recognised standardised test of English proficiency, recognised by 25,000 Universities worldwide.
The Cambridge Certification offer several advantages over other certifications:
• Higher standards
• Permanent validity: The certification does not expire, ensuring its value throughout the student’s academic and professional life.

• Flexible certification: Students can certify multiple levels within a single exam, adapting to their individual skills.
• Real-life applicability: The tests are based on everyday situations, helping students develop practical communication skills.
