The Collège Sévigné is a secular institution under contract of association with the State and follows the programs of the Ministry of National Education. The bilingual primary Sévigné consists of three preschool classes (PS, MS, GS) and two classes per level from CP to CM2, with instruction delivered in French and English on an equal-hour basis starting from the Moyenne Section (MS). True to its tradition, Sévigné aims to educate and nurture the development of the children entrusted to it. The primary school became bilingual starting with the 2016–2017 school year, offering a bicultural educational approach to all families, whether Francophone, Anglophone, bilingual or multilingual, with teaching drawing on translanguaging research and neuroscience.
The College offers regular sports activities through the Association Sportive throughout the school year. The objectives include competitive practice in team sports (basketball), maintenance-based physical activity (fitness), and leisure activities (multisports, table tennis), along with training of young referees and officials and student involvement in AS life (e.g., student representative on the board, team captain, photographer). The annual membership is 50 €, and an information meeting is held each year in September to present the program.
The bilingual primary program provides instruction in French and English with parity of hours from MS onward. The program draws on current research in translanguaging and neuroscience to support a bicultural educational approach for all families, whether French-speaking, English-speaking, bilingual, or multilingual.
On Wednesday mornings, elementary students may participate in after-school workshops from 8:45 to 11:45 in 1 hour 30 minute sessions; students may attend two consecutive workshops. The year begins the week of 8 September 2025 and includes 32 sessions, at a flat annual cost of 447 € per child per workshop. Available workshops include Musical Theatre, Science with Les Savants Fous, Coding with Coding Connexion, Cinema with Anne-Lise Michoud, Creative Arts with Cuvillier, Judo with Gautelier, Chinese language and culture with Shen, Chess in English with Le Petit Echiquier, Yoga in English with Barrelet and Poret, and an English-language Theatre workshop with a Florent instructor. The choir meets Mondays and Tuesdays 17:00–18:00 with Madame Garcenot, and there is a French-language chess workshop on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays 17:00–18:00.

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.
