French Secondary<\/h1>\n

IIL students aged 11 to 19 follow a French or English curriculum. Our programmes focus on each student’s personal development and international exposure, and support them in preparing for their future.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

French Secondary<\/div>\n

Our French section follows the French national curriculum,<\/a> leading to the French National Brevet Diploma (diplôme national du brevet<\/a>) and Baccalaureate<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n We focus our pedagogy on the acquisition of 21st century skills to prepare for the French national brevet diploma and the French general baccalaureate. Students develop oral, IT, socio-emotional, problem-solving, presentation, creativity and collaboration skills using a project-based approach. These skills inspire confidence and lay the foundation for future success.

Our students in 3ème<\/em> complete the national brevet diploma with the Grenoble academy<\/a>. As a member of the group of Swiss schools preparing for the French Baccalaureate (Groupement des Écoles Suisses qui préparent au Baccalauréat Français<\/em> <\/a>– GESBF), we are an accredited institution of the French National Education system<\/a>. As such, our students take the common continuous assessment exams (E3C) at our school. Thus, as for all students in accredited schools, we secure their progress by taking into account the continuous assessment results received in première<\/em> and terminale<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With our diverse and international student population, the study of modern foreign languages is a key focus. As many of our students will go beyond the requirements of the French Baccalaureate, we offer them the opportunity to validate their level by obtaining language certifications.<\/p>\n

IIL is developing the international dimension of its educational project by also offering its students the opportunity to take the High School Diploma. In partnership with Academica Dual DiplomaTM<\/a>, students have the opportunity to follow a dual diploma course from the time they enter seconde or première. The aim is to obtain the American High School Diploma alongside the French baccalauréat.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

Secondary school is a critical time for young people, representing an important transition that can open many doors to their future. At IIL, we help prepare students for academic diplomas and guide and support them in their social and emotional development. Through various local and international initiatives, we actively engage our students in global issues and charitable projects.<\/p>\n

During their time at IIL, secondary students take their classes in our modern B17 building. Designed with the latest pedagogical innovations in mind, the building houses multiple collaborative spaces, non-traditional classroom settings and digital learning tools to enhance their education.<\/p>\n

By personalising the support provided to each student, we aim to help them achieve their individual projects and ensure their development and well-being. The building of a future-focussed project enables students to get to know themselves before discovering their aspirations.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
