Subjects studied
French and
English syllabuses are
adapted to meet the needs of a bilingual international school, ensuring
core subjects are
covered to the required standards in both languages.
Accredited by the French Ministry of Education (“sous contrat simple”), we meet
the French government’s requirements in French and
Mathematics
so pupils can progress to French “collège”. Key Stages 1 and 2 of the English
National Curriculum are followed to ensure pupils enter secondary education with
the standards required
by the British government.
Subjects include:
English, French, Spanish, ICT, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Geography
and History.
A combination
of Art, Music, Drama, Dance and Mime
reinforces our topic-based curricular programme through creative expression.
Topical discussion, games and sports activities improve listening,
concentration, communication and coordination.
For those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English, additional individual support can be provided.
