Collège Anatole France teaches French Curriculum.
The school follows the French national curriculum for collège under AEFE. The curriculum includes Arts & EPS; Langue Vivantes; Sciences humaines; and Sciences & Technologie. Students are registered to take the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB) or the Diplôme National du Brevet International (DNBI). The assessment combines the level of mastery of the socle commun de connaissances, de compétences et de culture (S4C) with the final examination results. Teachers assess students throughout the year using Pronote. Adaptations to examinations are possible for candidates with a disability (PPS) or with a personalized learning plan (PAP). The international option for the DNB is available; students in this path can sit the DNB with the Option Internationale, which requires two oral exams in the international language (Arabic) and in the non-linguistic discipline (History-Geography).
The school offers the DNB and the DNBI. The DNB uses a 900-point scale; a candidate is admitted with at least 450 points. Mentions are awarded as: 'assez bien' at 540 points or more; 'bien' at 630 points or more; and 'très bien' at 720 points or more. Students in the international section may obtain the Option Internationale au DNB by succeeding in two specific oral exams (one in the international language and one in the non-linguistic discipline) with at least 25/50 in each.
The college serves as an intermediate step before Lycée Lyautey, after which students typically continue to Lycée Lyautey for their secondary education.
The school offers opportunities to develop talents through clubs, competitions, and projects, including Startup Your Life; Archi-Texture; Ambassadeurs en Herbe; the Grand Prix du Jeune Photographie; and the Dictée du Maroc, with profiles and news highlighting student achievements such as Nassim in table tennis and Ghali in equestrian sport.
