About Us

The International American Section at Saint-Denis International School is a program designed to give students in France the opportunity to learn English as if they were living and learning in an anglophone country.

Students in the section are either anglophone or excel in English, and their lessons are taught exclusively by native speakers who are experts in their fields. In addition to five days a week of English class, students also take History and Geography in English.

Beginning in 6ème and continuing up until Terminale, students are taught English through intensive reading, writing, and literary analysis in addition to studying History and Geography entirely in English following a specially adapted International American Section curriculum. There are two oral exams in 3°BFI for the Brevet, and longer written and oral exams at the end of T°BFI including an individual research project prepared with an international, US based, partner. Together these are worth 40% of the final Baccalaureate result.

Students are also entered for TEOFL Junior, TOEIC Reading and Writing and TOEFL ITP Level One exams at key points during their time in the International Section as a further, globally recognized validation of their English language capabilities.
