Who we are
The Anglophone Section offers English intruction to fluent English-speaking students within the structure of the French school system.
The Anglophone Section is integrated into a French State School, in fact, three schools which reside on the same campus: the Ecole Primaire Internationale Léonard de Vinci (Primary/Elementary level), the Collège International de Fontainebleau (Middle School) and the Lycée François Premier (High School).
The Section operates at all levels from CP (First Grade) through to Terminale (Upper VIth/12th Grade), guiding students ages 6 to 18 through a bilingual course of study.
What we do
The aim of the Anglophone Section is to help instill a love of learning and to create a secure and caring educational environment within the wider school framework.
We are working to “promote the pleasures and values associated with intellectual curiosity, creativity and learning” and “to facilitate the students’ social and moral development and mutual understanding and tolerance within a multicultural framework”.
Our students
Currently the section has around 400 students, approximately 150 in Primary and College and 100 in Lycee, representing 20 different nationalities.
Fluency in English is the required for admission and English written and oral tests form the backbone of the admissions process.
Our Parents
Parents contribute greatly to the success of many Anglophone activities. Lunch time activities, organized by volunteer parents, take place in primary school such as arts & crafts, computer club, drama, dance, sewing etc. The annual plays involve parents in a variety of production and backstage roles and the Anglophone Library relies on volunteers and there is also informal help organising school trips, international day, and a careers forum. Parents also produce the monthly newsletter and an annual Yearbook.
