Curriculum details	Curriculum details The Collège Sévigné offers two English–French bilingual tracks in the secondary school: Anglais bilingue, humanités, sciences, and Anglais +, humanités, sciences. Entering 6e requires prior intensive English study; a placement test assesses English, French and mathematics for new entrants.

Anglais + provides expanded English exposure and is open to all profiles; a placement test in French and mathematics determines the appropriate level. This track emphasizes English immersion — including English-language arts taught entirely in English, and integrated English-language physical education and arts — with particular attention to classical humanities and scientific culture.	Curriculum details The EIB Lamartine is a bilingual private primary school for children aged 3 to 10. It offers a French-English bilingual curriculum under an association contract with the State, complemented by a daily English-learning program.

From the moyenne section onward, classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards, and pupils receive computing training, with five domains of the Brevet Informatique et Internet (B2i) validated in CM1–CM2. Environmental awareness is part of the program, with UNESCO partnership and Eco-Schools involvement, and the school offers a wide range of after-school activities and courses taught in English.

History	History Inaugurated in 1880, Collège Sévigné is a private secular school under contract with the State, organized as a nonprofit association serving students from kindergarten through terminale. From its founding, it opened to religious minorities and pursued a pioneering education for girls, rooted in republican ideals that shape its humanist culture. Its identity remains tied to Pascal's idea that 'well thinking' is emancipation, a motto that has guided generations of learners. The college became coeducational in 1969, and it built a bilingual, bicultural program beginning in the 1980s, with English-language instruction from the early years and a path that culminates in the lycée with preparation for the French international baccalaureate. Over the last decade and a half, Sévigné has continued to innovate—expanding bilingual instruction, embracing emerging technologies, and developing the Parcours Europe to strengthen its European and global orientation.

Multilingual education is central, with bilingual instruction from the earliest years and differentiated secondary pathways, including an English-plus option and a Europe Pathway, culminating in high school with preparation for the French international baccalaureate.

Scholarships	Scholarships Scholarships The Mathilde Salomon Scholarship provides aid to families and is designed to broaden access to Sévigné. Beginning in 2024, the scholarship was awarded to 5 lycée students (secondes) for all of their lycée schooling; in 2025, 5 of the 40 new secondes will be awarded the Mathilde Salomon scholarship based on project and motivation. The program aims to reach about 10% of our lycée students by 2030 and may cover all tuition for recipients; recipients also receive targeted tutoring to support their integration. Donations support this program, and there is a form for information requests.	Scholarships —
