American Section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American section is one 12 international sections of the Lycée International de Saint Germain-en-Laye. Students are taught an American curriculum in addition to the French curriculum.
The American Section Program starts in Pre-Kindergarten and goes through 12th grade. Approximately 60 percent of its students are U.S. citizens, and many hold both French and American citizenship. Most of the remaining 40 percent are French citizens who have spent considerable time in the United States or have had American schooling. The American Section provides an international education within the context of the Lycee International. Students from nursery to college preparatory level experience a hybrid of American and French curricula with an emphasis on language, math, and science skills. They maintain strong links with their American culture while developing a consciousness as global citizens.
