Student life at Lyce9e La Bourdonnais is supported by three student governance bodies: the CVC (Conseil de Vie Colle9gienne), the CVL (Conseil de Vie Lyce9enne) and the MDL (Maison des Lyce9ens). The CVC, recently established, gives colle8ge students the opportunity to express themselves and propose improvements to life at the school. The CVL is at the heart of lyce9e democracy, bringing together students, staff representatives and parents to be consulted on matters affecting daily student life. The MDL is a small team of lyce9ens who lead projects and events and help improve communication between students and the administration. The school also runs a platform dedicated to gender equality to promote an inclusive, respectful environment.
An individualized accompaniment ensures every student progresses at their own pace. It covers three domains: le soutien for students who need help, lad approfondissement for enrichment and workshops, and lad orientation to project the student toward future professional paths and higher education.
Lyce9e La Bourdonnais offers plurilingual study beyond French and English. English is taught through two tracks: the International British Section and the European Section. The International British Section provides the strongest English program and leads to the International Baccalaureate option (OIB), with Cambridge certifications after DNBI and the French baccalaureate. It includes two English-language subjects: Language and Literature and History and Geography, and it supports Cambridge certification. The European Section focuses on English and history/geography. In addition to English, students can study Spanish, German and Mandarin, and the school is an examination centre for DELE in Spanish.
The secondary health service comprises a full-time state-qualified school nurse, Ms. Rache8le Sauvage; a school doctor, Dr Umar Somauroo; a school psychologist, Ms. Ste9phanie Fanchette; and a first-aider supervisor. The nurse provides initial care, can administer medications during school hours, and supports students in health and wellbeing. The school doctor visits periodically to grant sport exemptions and to handle requests related to accommodations. There is an online emergency form and related health procedures and documents for planning and care.
The school upholds core values of dignity, liberty and equality, with a firm commitment to non-discrimination and to living well together. The Re8glement inte9rieur anchors these values and the school seeks to create a safe, respectful environment for all. A dedicated gender-equality platform provides resources and initiatives to foster an inclusive atmosphere. Student councils (CVC and CVL) and MDL offer channels for student voice, safeguarding their wellbeing and participation in school life.
