1. Specific subjects

8 hours of English language and literature taught by an

Anglophone teacher

4 hours of History-Geography with a bilingual teacher, two hours taught in English and two in French

1 hour of working techniques and methodology taught in English

2. General education

All other subjects and timetables are the same as those of the other classes in the school.

Students in Year 10 (aged 14/3ème) can sit for the OIB Brevet exam: four tests of equal importance in French, English, Maths and History-Geography.

The OIB is the French “Baccalauréat” diploma with a special mention for the international option, quoting the language in which it has been taken, ie English in the current case. Students will take the tests of the stream they have chosen (L – Languages and Literature / ES – Economics and Social Sciences / S – Maths and Sciences) PLUS

a language and literature test consisting of a 4-hour paper and a 30-minute oral test

a 4-hour written History-Geography test either in French or in English (student’s choice) and an oral test

These tests are identical in all three streams.

This baccalaureate with an international option

is taken into account as an asset for an application for a

University or any post high school studies

exempts students from taking language tests when en-

tering English universities

It is also acknowledged in French post high school prep schools (CPGE) for it shows that students have developed a capacity for hard work and all show intellectual and cultural flexibility, especially in the Maths and science stream.

The OIB in years 7 to 10 (age 11 to 14/ 6° to 3°)

The OIB at the “Brevet” / “bac” examinations

Cité scolaire Maurice Ravel, a high school and vocational college with special emphasis on languages, opened its Anglo-phone International Section in September 2014 giving English speaking pupils the opportunity to prepare for the interna-tional option of the French Baccalaureate.

enable French students to learn and practise English at a high level thanks to intensive English classes and History-Geography classes partly taught in English

facilitate the reception and integration of foreign stu-dents into the French school system while giving them an opportunity of getting educated in their native language

In Cité scolaire Maurice Ravel, students can apply for the British OIB in Year 7 (6ème/age 11 - limited spots in Years 8 and 9).
