About Our Programmes

GrandChene Section Internationale offers bilingual programmes for children aged 4 (Maternelle) to 18 (Lycee).

Integrated Model

All programmes (except the Wednesday Primary) are fully integrated within French public schools. Students spend 80% of their time on the French curriculum.

Official Curriculum

Our integrated programmes follow the official Section Internationale curriculum certified by the French Ministry of Education.

Academic Requirements

Students must be academically strong. Assessing their previous school reports is part of the assessment process.

Non-French Speakers

We accept applications from students not yet speaking French, depending on the partner school. In Primary, it is advisable to start with the Wednesday Programme.
