Dear American Section community,

We are not the number one public school in France by accident! Consider the record-setting results our students have just achieved on the French Baccalaureate with International Option. More than 96% received distinction on their final examinations: 17 earned a “Mention Assez Bien”, 22 achieved a “Mention Bien”, and 16 received a “Mention Très Bien”, including two who earned the extremely rare “Félicitations du Jury”. Congratulations to the Class of 2008 for such a tremendous success! Special congratulations as well to English Department Chair Joan Lynch who is retiring this summer after 28 years of exceptional service to our students. Mrs. Lynch, your inspirational example will forever be written in our hearts! And to everyone in our educational community: best wishes for a wonderful summer vacation!

Sean Lynch, Director

Welcome to the American Section Website

Within the unique context of the Lycée International, where 12 national sections are represented, the American Section provides an American educational and cultural experience of exceptional quality.

The American Section prepares students to become lifelong learners and global citizens by:

- Fostering intellectual curiosity and self-confidence that help students realize their full
potential;
- Developing students’ leadership abilities and sense of responsibility towards others.

The American Section pursues this mission through a rigorous and rewarding American curriculum which culminates in the French Baccalaureate with International Option, as well as through a broad and enriching co-curricular program including such activities as drama, community service, sports and student publications.
