Institut de la Tour is a Catholic girls' school located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, serving students from ages 11 to 18. The school follows the French national curriculum but features a specialized Anglophone Section. In this track, students prepare for the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI). This specific program requires students to complete literature, history, and geography coursework in English, taught by native-level instructors. The campus includes science laboratories and dedicated rooms for visual arts and music. A signature initiative of the school is its theater program, where students perform plays in English to develop linguistic fluency and public speaking skills. The school also participates in international Model United Nations conferences. Located near the Trocadéro, the school uses its central urban position to integrate Parisian cultural sites into its history and art history lessons. Students in the Anglophone Section are integrated with the French stream for non-linguistic subjects.
