The program prepares recipients for the French Baccalaureate with International Option (OIB).

Applications can be submitted online via the school's admissions portal.	Scholarships —
Waitlist	Waitlist There is a waiting list. Waiting list applicants are those whom the school would really like to admit, but cannot due to a lack of space. Waiting list placements are not automatic; the Admissions Committee informs families by email.
