The first phase of our bilingual programme spans the first three years of lower secondary school, aiming for a B2 level in English through full immersion with 30% of lessons taught in English. Subjects such as art, music, literature, biology, and history provide creative contexts for language practice, with a strong emphasis on oral skills and cultural awareness. All bilingual classes are taught by mother-tongue English-speaking teachers, ensuring authentic, engaging instruction.
Students then prepare for Cambridge IGCSE exams, a globally recognised qualification equivalent to the French Diplôme National du Brevet. Taught entirely in English during 3ème and Seconde, IGCSE’s support access to international, British, or Anglophone schools and promotes academic excellence through distinct Anglo-Saxon teaching methods. Assessments include oral, written, and practical evaluations, with grades from A (highest) to E (lowest) : a C is considered a solid pass.
Preparation for IGCSE’s is the best passport to continue in the International Section or the Cambridge International Project Qualification (IPQ) programme, ensuring a solid foundation for an excellent bilingual education.
The Cambridge International Project Qualification (CIPQ). Introduced in 2020, the CIPQ demands a high level in English (C1/C2) and independent research skills. Learners write a 5,000-word report on a chosen topic, developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical reasoning. The CIPQ complements the French system by fostering autonomy, argumentation, and personal reflection—skills essential for higher education and future careers.
