Exam results	Exam results —	Exam results Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) is the highest bilingual certification at the end of secondary education in France and serves as a passport to higher education in France and abroad; the BFI includes a bilingual pathway with British option. Cambridge Checkpoint tests are prepared in the core English program for 5e, assessed in Reading, Usage and Writing, and marked by Cambridge examiners. The IGCSE is studied in Troisième and Seconde as part of the English Language and Literature curriculum; it is optional and, from 2026-27, assessed by Oxford AQA; IGCSE results are presented as First Language and Literature, and are viewed as preparation for the BFI and international benchmarks. The school reports strong results, including 91% of 2025 BFI graduates earning mentions, with the first BFI cohort in German and British sections achieving excellent results in bilingual and trilingual pathways.
