NBHIS provides a Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) program for foreign students, established in 2002. The CFL curriculum covers Chinese listening, reading and writing literacy, oral Chinese, Chinese culture, HSK preparation, and English, using textbooks published by Beijing Language University Press. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is provided to balance language development. NBHIS also supports pathways to North American universities through Sino-Canadian and Sino-American programmes.
NBHIS offers bilingual teaching in the Early Years Programme. Classes are co-taught by foreign and Chinese teachers in a genuine bilingual learning environment. The Early Years Programme serves 2-5 year olds and is part of the IB Primary Years Programme. The bilingual approach supports switching between languages and concepts, with teaching that integrates Chinese culture alongside awareness of English-speaking contexts.
