European English section

The European Section is for intermediate English language learners who wish to improve their level of English but are not ready for the more rigorous in-depth level of study of English Literature and History-Geography within the International Section.

English lessons are conducted by qualified bilingual French and native teachers. These are reinforced by lessons of History-Geography in English, following the French National Programme which culminate in an oral exam for the Baccalaureate in Year 13/Grade 12 (Terminale).

All European Section students also take complementary additional English language qualifications to independently certify their level of English and prepare them for the final Baccalaureate examinations. These tests include the Big Challenge competition for the youngest students, Test TOEFL Junior® - Standard for students in Year 10 / 9th Grade, and a chance to further build on their scores in the Test TOEFL Junior® - Standard in Year 11 / 10th Grade and the Test TOEFL ITP® - level 1 in Year 12 / 11th Grade. Final year students have the option of retaking the Test TOEFL ITP® in order to improve their score or sit for the Test TOEFL IBT.

Outside the classroom, there are a wide range of international trips, exchanges and Model European Parliament opportunities for students in the European Section.
