Bilingual
secondary school

A program designed to offer each student an experience that combines academic rigor and personal development in a respectful and caring environment.

The collège is a continuation of the bilingual program in primary school. From 6e to 3e, students benefit from a comprehensive education that follows the French curriculum and prepares them for the Diplôme National du Brevet. It’s also a Cambridge school, with an advanced language level, preparing students for the B1 and B2 English language certificates, and for the IGCSE, a diploma taken at the end of the second year in English and international schools.

Languages and technology

Support courses in English or French complete our immersion program, while the use of digital tools promotes modern learning and prepares our students to become competent digital citizens.

Individual support

Our student-centered approach includes a “Learning Center” offering tailor-made support, coaching workshops to improve working methods, and personalized support programs to meet the specific needs of each student.

Personal development

Through our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program, we encourage the development of essential social and emotional skills such as team spirit, creativity and resilience, with interactive workshops throughout the year.

Integration and commitment

Each school year begins with a cohesion week to help integrate new students and build team spirit.
Our challenging projects, such as Science Fair and Math Kangaroo, also encourage student involvement.

Openness to the world

Regular field trips and trips abroad offer our students unique opportunities to explore new horizons and immerse themselves in other cultures.

Sports and extra-curricular activities

Our varied, seasonally adapted sports program and extra-curricular activities, such as theater and music, enable students to develop their passions and talents outside the classroom.
