The American International Section leads to the International French Baccalauréat (BFI).

The aim of the section is to create an environment for our students that provides the same linguistic and cultural level in both French and English.  During their 5 hours of literature, 1 hour of drama and 2 hours of History-geography instruction in English, they will find themselves in another teaching environment with a different approach which will allow them to understand and adapt to the varied ways in which other cultures view the world and approach problem-solving, communication, mediation, persuasion.

However, the true value of the SIA lies in the place it occupies at the heart of the French education system, allowing our students to benefit from the academic rigour and cultural wealth of the French system combined with an international teaching approach. The syllabus and the diplomas (Brevet  International option and BFI–International French Baccalaureat) are officially and jointly accredited by the French Education Ministry and the College Board in the USA.
