The Anglophone Section sits on the Fontainebleau International Campus and has its own entrance on Avenue Verdun. It operates within three French state schools on the campus: the Ecole Internationale Léonard de Vinci for primary, the Collège International de Fontainebleau, and the Lycée International François Premier. In the Primary School the Anglophone Section has three dedicated classrooms and a library of English books. English is taught by native speakers for six hours per week as part of the standard timetable, with Anglophone and French classes scheduled separately by year group. The Section serves students from CP to Terminale and is run as a fee paying unit within the French system. There are over 470 Anglophone students from more than 30 nationalities on the campus.
From primary to Lycée, English Language and Literature and History-Geography are taught in English. In Primary, Anglophone students receive six hours per week of English with a native teacher.
