Facilities
Primary School
Class activities are supervised alternately by a French teacher with a National Education qualification and a native English-speaking teacher. The rhythm of the work-study program with hourly parity (13 hours per week in each of the languages) is defined according to educational criteria defined by the teaching team.All the subjects and programs defined by the Ministry of National Education are therefore studied in both languages in a perfectly balanced way and teaching is the result of constant dialogue between the two teachers in the pair.
Middle School
The educational offer at the secondary level continues to emphasize the mastery of English and the intensive learning of other modern languages. All students benefit from five hours of English language and culture instruction from 6th grade. The objective is to be able to offer as many people as possible the possibility of taking the National Brevet Diploma, International option, at the end of the 3rd year.The CFBL has also set up teaching exclusively in English in certain non-linguistic disciplines such as visual arts, music and computer science. In total, nearly 40% of teaching time in college is provided in English and by English-speaking teachers.The CFBL also emphasizes other modern languages. LV2 (Spanish, German or Mandarin) is taught from sixth grade. An introduction to Mandarin is offered to all 4th and 3rd year students who have not chosen it as LV2.
