Seconde Accueil
The Section is happy to have developed over the years a way of providing a home for those high-performing French students who have the motivation, ambition and intellectual curiosity to take up the challenge of a bi-cultural education. At the Lycée site, the Section organises a group of about 12 students at Year 11 level known as Seconde Accueil.
The Classe d'Accueil, is designed for those who have had no experience of English taught as a mother tongue but who have an urge to master the language and to go on studying both Literature and History/Geography in English throughout Première and Terminale for the OIB.
They continue to study English with a French state teacher while taking on the challenge of literature and history with the British Section (making about 11 periods of weekly learning in English). They form a discrete Section group in Year 11 but are mixed with the other British Section students from Year 12 onwards in sets preparing the International Option.
