Collège Sévigné is a secular school under contract with the State, serving from kindergarten to terminale. It offers a French Curriculum with Cambridge IGCSE and two English–French bilingual tracks in secondary: Anglais bilingue and Anglais+. Entering 6e requires intensive English study and placement tests in English, French, and mathematics. The bilingual primary program, with equal hours in French and English from Moyenne Section onward, began in 2016–2017 and uses translanguaging research and neuroscience to support a bicultural approach. The school became coeducational in 1969 and developed a bilingual, bicultural program in the 1980s, with English instruction from the early years and a lycée path toward French international baccalaureate. Parcours Europe strengthens European orientation. The Institute of Research (IRCS) partners with universities and labs, and an AI Plan guides responsible AI use. In 2025, Brevet pass rate was 100% and Baccalauréat mentions were 93%. Facilities include sport, arts, after-school enrichment.

The Collège Sévigné offers two English–French bilingual tracks in the secondary school: Anglais bilingue, humanités, sciences, and Anglais +, humanités, sciences. Entering 6e requires prior intensive English study; a placement test assesses English, French and mathematics for new entrants. In Anglais bilingue, students use English as the language of schooling for writing and speaking, studying English-language literature, a science subject, and social studies in English with native-speaking teachers. Anglais + provides expanded English exposure and is open to all profiles; a placement test in French and mathematics determines the appropriate level. This track emphasizes English immersion — including English-language arts taught entirely in English, and integrated English-language physical education and arts — with particular attention to classical humanities and scientific culture.

3. What to prepare: Prepare a letter of motivation from the parents (Word or PDF) plus an online questionnaire. Upload the 2024–2025 school reports (one PDF per trimester; if semestrial, upload the first semester twice) and the 2025–2026 reports as they become available. Include any other documents you wish to share.
