Benchmark School System believes in providing its students with wonderful skill-based opportunities be it sports activities, tech workshops, summer programmes or Internships. The sole purpose of these opportunities is to expose students to various extra-curricular activities that will help them groom themselves not just professionally but personally.
One such skill is learning a language. In the ever-changing dynamics of the world, bilingualism has multiple benefits for students not just academically but in their prospective careers as well.
Benchmark German Language Programme (BGLP) was introduced in 2016 and since then it has been running successfully.
German is the most widely spoken native language in Europe. It is the second most important language in central and Eastern Europe. In the English-speaking world, German is also the third most taught foreign language.
German and English share the same Germanic roots, so if you’re an English speaker, you’re already quite advantaged. The German Language also has a very strong foothold in the academic community as it ranks second as the most commonly used scientific language.
German is the gateway to world-class higher education, which is also almost free of cost. This also gives you access to the world’s fourth largest economy, as it is home to a large number of economic players like Siemens, Volkswagen, Adidas, and Lufthansa`11.
BmSS has partnered with Goethe Institute to offer internationally recognised Goethe-Zertifikat exams.
