What is an international section ?
Mise à jour : juillet 2024
A bilingual and bicultural programme based on a bilateral pedagogical partnership between the French Ministry of Education and foreign countries or organisations representing their education systems:
- a programme that allows students arriving from countries around the world to follow part of the curriculum in a language they are familiar with,
- a programme that enables French students to acquire sound language skills through an ambitious school path,
- specific courses of study taught by native speakers, backed-up with age-appropriate programmes,
- pathways aiming for excellence ; degrees recognized and valued both in France and abroad.
