With over 200 students in September of 2011, collège is the level with the most "internationaux." 

Most students who have begun OIB (Option Internationale au Baccalauréat) in primary school continue on in collège, but they are joined by an equal number of new students, arriving from abroad or from area schools.

In sixième and cinquième, there are three OIB groups:

• fluent English speakers. (These students study English as students in an English-speaking country would, using American middle school textbooks.)
• learners who began OIB in CM1.
• learners who began OIB in sixième. (These two groups follow an intense English as a foreign language program.)

In quatrième and troisième, students who began OIB in CM1 and sixième are mixed together. At any time, a student who has reached the necessary fluency level to succeed with his or her English-speaking classmates may be "moved up" to the first group.

At the end of troisième, OIB students have the possibility to take the "Option Internationale au Brevet."

All students interested in the OIB section must pass a written and oral entrance test.

The International Section does not manage administrative enrollment. For information on what is necessary for the enrollment process, please contact Mme BARBIER, secrétaire des élèves -- at 02 99 84 81 00.
