Introduction

Lycée Français Blaise Pascal, located in Riviera 3, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, is a French international school that serves pupils from maternelle (Petite Section) through primary, collège and lycée and also operates a classe préparatoire. The establishment teaches the French national curriculum while, since 2017, hosting a Section Internationale Américaine (SIA) that provides an American-style, English‑strengthened pathway and specific anglophone teaching from early years to Terminale; SIA pupils sit international English certifications and follow examinations linked to the international option of French diplomas (DNB-OI / BFI). Instruction is principally in French with reinforced English in the SIA and additional modern languages (English, Spanish, German, Arabic) offered in the school's language programme. The campus occupies about ten hectares and includes sports facilities, laboratories and IT resources; its gymnasium, designed by Koffi & Diabaté Architectes, has been recognised at international architecture events. The school is part of the AEFE network and publishes detailed pedagogical and admissions documentation online.
