Welcome

The European section in Saint-John Perse opened in 1995.

Today our lycée has three European classes: One in seconde, one in première and one in terminale. For the students in the section, English classes are complemented with History and Geography classes in English.

In seconde the whole syllabus is taught in English whereas in première and terminale students have history and geography classes in French and on top of that two extra hours to learn history and geography in English.

Mrs Vercruysse, Mrs Sandoval and Ms Humbert and Ms Bizieau are teaching English to European classes this year. Mr Boustourre is teaching history and geography in English.

For the students, it’s an opportunity to improve their language skills while learning more about British and American history and civilisation.

When they take the Baccalauréat, students have to take an oral exam of history and geography in English. If they get at least 10/20 in that exam and at least 12/20 in the English written exam, they get a European Bac (Baccalauréat avec la mention européenne).

Our students are very motivated and love English: this blog will show that to you!

Welcome, we hope you enjoy your visit.
