Admission to the school's international section

admission en section internationale

International sections are part of bilateral partnerships between France and the partner country.

The aim of international sections is to facilitate the integration of foreign pupils into the French education system during their stay in France, to enable them to return to school in their country of origin and to train French pupils in the in-depth practice of a foreign language from nursery school through to the baccalauréat.

The Académie offers a number of excellent international courses: German, American, Arabic, British, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Russian sections.
