Terminale and Premiere
The programme consists of the University of Cambridge International Examinations specification of the Option Internationale du Baccalaureat (OIB) syllabus as defined by the Ministere de l’Education Nationale. The History syllabus is taught entirely within the Anglophone Section.

The Anglophone Geography programme consists of a majority of those elements of the OIB syllabus not taught in French Histoire/Geographie lessons to Terminale S students. This ensures that these students are taught a more than sufficient amount of the OIB Geography programme in French and Anglophone lessons, whilst L and ES students are taught the entire Geography programme in their French Histoire/Geographie lessons with numerous elements reinforced in Anglophone lessons.
