English is the language of instruction within the Anglophone Section, which provides bilingual education in English and French. The EA program runs for bilingual students from 6ème to Terminale, with English-language literature and history taught in English by native-speaker teachers; AA and AR provide progressive English instruction with increasing linguistic demands. The program includes support structures such as Higher Education Advisers and a New Student Mentoring program to assist students pursuing studies in France or abroad.
The Anglophone Section provides bilingual and bicultural education in English and French. It serves bilingual students from 6ème through Terminale. Anglophone instruction includes Anglais Académique in collège and English-language literature and history taught by native-speaker teachers. The Anglophone programs extend into lycée with continued English-language study and cultural exploration.
An immersive pedagogy is used in Cycle 4 to broaden openness to the anglophone world through authentic materials and more complex language tasks. The Anglophone Programs include Etudes Anglophones (EA) for bilingual students from 6ème through Terminale, Anglais Avancé (AA) for top students, and Anglais Renforcé (AR) to build skills in 6ème and 5ème. Class hours for EA equal all official Anglophone Académique hours plus two additional classes per week; AA has one or two classes depending on grade, and AR has two classes. There is a Wednesday afternoon Step Program for primary students.
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.
