The English-speaking students follow the English National Curriculum, and the French-speaking students, the French National programme, both adapted to serve the needs of an international community. All children spend an equal amount of time in both languages.

Primary School Objectives:
- To develop bilingualism in all pupils
- To facilitate mastery of the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic equally in both languages
- To foster a positive attitude towards learning
- To achieve a balanced progression in all learning areas
- To encourage pupils to take responsibility for their learning
- To prepare pupils sufficiently for secondary education
- To nurture self-confidence, self-discipline, independence, social skills and respect for other people and cultures

Secondary School:
Pupils come to Bordeaux International School specifically to complete their secondary education in English. They obtain internationally recognised qualifications that will equip them for higher and further education throughout the world.

Most of our A-level school-leavers attend colleges and universities in Great Britain, Australia and the USA. Those with a satisfactory level in French have the option of attending a French University, building on the language skills they have developed at Bordeaux International School.
