Bordeaux International School, Bordeaux:
Bordeaux International School was established in 1988 by the non-profit making Association Linguistique et Culturelle Internationale. It provides full-time primary and secondary education from the age of 3 to 19. The kindergarten and primary schools are bilingual. The Primary school is accredited by the French Ministry of Education ('sous contrat'). 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.

In the Secondary school, classes are taught in English and students are therefore only accepted if their competence in English is satisfactory. Students prepare for IGCSEs, and the AS and A2 Level examinations in a range of subjects. The programmes are adapted to meet the needs of American students requiring entry qualifications to colleges in the United States. Emphasis is placed on acquiring competence in the French language both through small classes within the school and involvement in educational, sporting and cultural facilities offered by the city outside the school.
