The Anglophone Section teaches in English alongside the French national curriculum; students graduate with the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) at the end. Three subjects are taught in English in addition to the majors and French-taught options, and the BFI replaced the OIB in Première in 2022. The timetable provides six hours of English in Seconde, nine hours in Première, and eleven hours in Terminale (with two hours taught in French). The assessments include Cambridge International IGCSE English Literature and English Language in Seconde, and the final BFI examination involves a written and oral component; Knowledge of the World (Connaissance du Monde) is part of the BFI with OxfordAQA supporting UK standards, and texts are drawn from Cambridge and OxfordAQA in cooperation with the Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale.
The school provides bilingual education for international children aged six to 18 as a fully integrated part of the French National Educational System.
Located on the Fontainebleau International Campus, the Anglophone Section is a fee-paying unit within three French state schools and serves pupils from CP to Terminale. It offers the French national curriculum alongside Anglophone Section subjects, with Cambridge IGCSE and the BFI at the end of schooling. ACL, DNL and Connaissances du Monde are taught in English; students choose two majors and French-language options. Since September 2022, Première begins BFI study, with emphasis on oral presentation; about 40% of final grades derive from Section subjects; Connaissances du Monde requires independent research and a 20-minute presentation. Anglophone teaching hours progress from six per week in Seconde to eleven in Terminale (two hours in French). The Section has an entrance on Avenue Verdun and serves pupils from 30 nationalities. English is taught by native speakers; the campus hosts one of the largest OIB BFI centers and Cambridge iGCSE center status for teachers and examiners.
