The Section Internationale La Celle St Cloud – Noisy le Roi (the Section) offers bilingual programmes to children from Maternelle (5 years old) to Lycée (18 years old).
With the exception of the Wednesday Primary programme, all our programmes are integrated in French public schools where the children spend 80% of their time at school working on the French curriculum. It is important to remember that the students are first and foremost part of their French school, where solid competencies in French and Maths are necessary for being accepted into the Section.
Our integrated programmes follow the official Section Internationale curriculum recognised by the French Ministry of Education
Applications will be accepted after the deadlines whilst places are available. These will be subject to individual or distance testing.
There are however administrative deadlines which we must keep so we encourage you to apply as early as possible.
Please contact us for further information.

For families living abroad, we appreciate that returning to France for official testing dates is not easy (in the current situation in particular), especially if more than one child is concerned.
We will always try to accommodate families with children of different ages when organising individual testing in France.

We can organise distance testing for your children with help from their current school.We also have solutions in place to proceed with testing when schools abroad are closed.
