Bilingual Section

After having careful studied the application, the Ministry of National Education has just given its consent. In this bilingual section, Junior High School students will be able to obtain the National Diploma of the Brevet “Junior High School series, international option” once they finish their year in 3e. Students in the International Section who choose the diploma with “international option” (DNBI) will sit two additional oral exams in language and literature and in history-geography.
