Native English and French speaking teachers

Some of our teachers are indeed native speakers of the language they teach. However, this depends on our recruitment process and the profiles available at a given time. We also work with highly qualified non-native teachers who possess excellent language proficiency and strong teaching experience. All of our instructors are selected based on their linguistic skills, teaching qualifications, and ability to support students effectively.

Language support for students not fluent in English and French

For students who are not fluent in French, we offer "Français Langue Scolaire" (FLS) classes from international primary school through middle school. These classes enable us to admit students with little or no prior knowledge of French and support their integration into the curriculum.
However, from high school onward, students are expected to have a strong command of both French and English in order to be admitted, as the academic requirements at this level demand proficiency in both languages.

Dedicated staff/programs for students with special learning needs

The identification, implementation, and monitoring of support plans for students with special learning needs are coordinated by our school nurse, working closely with the school psychologist. Together, they assess students' needs, liaise with families and teachers, and ensure that appropriate accommodations and support measures are put in place and regularly reviewed.

Student access to education psychologist

Students have access to a school psychologist who supports their educational, emotional, and developmental needs and works closely with families and staff when appropriate.

Entry evaluation for students

Our school has an admissions process for all new applicants: the process begins with a review of the student's application file, including previous school reports and other relevant documents. Applicants are then required to complete assessments in both French and English to evaluate their language proficiency and ensure that they are able to access the curriculum successfully.

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Our school is distinguished by its strong commitment to multilingualism, international-mindedness, and academic excellence. Our language provision continues to expand year after year, offering students a rich and diverse linguistic environment.

In primary school, students benefit from a balanced French-English bilingual education, with approximately 50% of instruction delivered in each language by qualified native-speaking teachers. We also provide tailored support for students who need to develop their French language skills, enabling them to integrate successfully into the curriculum.

In middle school, students have the opportunity to study two additional Language B subjects alongside English, further strengthening their linguistic and intercultural competencies. Students also benefit from exposure to the International Baccalaureate philosophy through the Middle Years Programme (MYP), which they follow through Grade 9 (3ème).

In high school, students prepare for the French International Baccalaureate (BFI), a demanding and highly respected qualification that provides excellent preparation for higher education in France and abroad. Beyond its academic rigor, the programme fosters critical thinking, cultural awareness, international perspectives, and intellectual curiosity, equipping students with the skills and outlook needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
