La Tour's Anglophone Section was inaugurated in 1989 with 20 bilingual students. Today the Section has over 900 students across three programs in the collège/lycée and more than 200 students in Wednesday afternoon Step Programs for primary school children. It began with Etudes Anglophones (EA) and expanded with Anglais Avancé (AA) for top students and Anglais Renforcé (AR) to facilitate entry into the Anglophone programs. EA serves bilingual students from 6ème through Terminale with English-language literature and history taught by native-speaking teachers; AA and AR provide higher levels of English and access to a bilingual academic track. Head of Anglophone Section is Benjamin Slade; Anglais Avancé and Anglais Renforcé are coordinated by Emily Gerbeau; Step Programs are coordinated by Kelly Chollet; Higher Education Advisors include Emily Velut; Administrative Assistants are Liza Maronese and Colombe Renaudier.
The Anglophone Section operates within a global-facing La Tour community, with a New Student Mentoring program to help international students adapt and Higher Education Advisers to guide university applications worldwide. Lycée Electives offer subjects such as film-making, debate, journalism, creative writing, social responsibility and marketing, linking language study to broader disciplines. Cycle 4 projects include a charity day, Red Nose Day, and a trip to Ireland in 5th grade.
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.
