The school operates within the French overseas education project, promoting multilingual education. English-language pathways (PARLE) and EMILE provide extensive English language exposure; PARLE enables access to the American International Section from 6e and 2nde, and the European Section from 2nde. Since the 2023-2024 school year, the American International Section has been available for 6e and 2nde, with the first International French Baccalaureate anticipated in June 2025. Examinations include the Diplôme National du Brevet at the end of collège and the national baccalaureate at the end of lycée.
The school offers bilingual and bicultural education through International Sections (American and European). The PARLE pathway is taught in English and enables pupils to join the American International Section in 6e and 2nde or the European Section from 2nde. The EMILE approach provides English-language instruction for selected subjects and DNL History-Geography at secondary level. International Sections provide bilingual and bicultural courses recognized by the French Ministry of Education. The aim is for students to master at least three languages in addition to French.
