History	History EIB Monceau was established in 1954 as the first bilingual school in the EIB group. It is located in central Paris near Parc Monceau in the 8th arrondissement and operates across three buildings to accommodate the school. The college section, Collège EIB Monceau, runs across three campuses: Campus Margueritte at 16 Rue Margueritte, Campus Torricelli at 11 bis Rue Torricelli, and Campus Londres at 52 Rue de Londres. This multi-campus arrangement enables a continuous bilingual education from the early years through the middle years.	History The Lycée International was created in the early 1950s as the school for the children of military personnel working for SHAPE. The Château d'Hennemont became an international primary school and remained in that role until the early 1990s. By 1968, four other national sections had been restored or created; the British Section began classes at Collège Pierre et Marie Curie in 1981 and added primary classes in Le Pecq about seven years later, with nearly 40% of British Section pupils taught in partner schools. The Lycée International was among the first schools to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB); when the French government developed the BFI (Baccalauréat Français International) in the early 1980s, all fifteen sections began offering the BFI, and the Lycée International remains France's principal examination centre for the BFI. There are about 2,200 students on the Lycée International campus, and with externés and partner-school pupils the total is around 4,000. The redevelopment of the campus was completed in 2020.

Admissions Application for entry in September 2026 is open. The British Section seeks applicants with age-appropriate ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing in English and the potential and support to maintain development of these skills while being educated in a primarily francophone environment. The number of places depends on leavers, so places often become available toward the end of the school year. The deadline for maternelle, primary and collège applications for local families is January 9, 2026, with entrance assessments taking place from January to March 2026, and in May 2026 for the youngest candidates. Families based outside Europe may arrange online entrance assessments in March if places are available, and families outside the area who miss the deadline should contact the Admissions Officer. For initial enquiries, complete the online form and then proceed with the application procedure below; click for dates of entrance assessments. 1. Application fee: 160 € for maternelle, 200 € for primary, 250 € for collège/lycée (non-refundable; paid online via HelloAsso). 2.

The school will inform you if your child is invited to sit entrance assessments. 4.

Scholarships	Scholarships —	Scholarships The British Section Scholarship Fund provides means-tested financial support to help families with limited resources pay British Section fees. Eligibility covers two categories: new pupils admitted in Seconde, Première or Terminale who cannot pay the annual participation and existing pupils in Seconde, Première or Terminale whose family experiences a lasting change in financial circumstances. The stated income threshold for eligibility is a revenu fiscal de re9férence at or below €9,710 per taxable household. Applications require Form 11423 06: Demande d'allocations familiales (CAF) and supporting documents, including the most recent tax returns, three recent payslips, three rent receipts, CAF attestation, and bank statements, for all adults in the household. The application process comprises five steps: submission of the completed CAF form and supporting documents by April 30 of the admission year; evaluation by the Scholarship Committee; a written recommendation from the Director to the Committee; notification of results in May; and acceptance of the offer with a signed acceptance form. Existing students may apply in cases of changing financial circumstances, and the Fund does not replace the Section's existing emergency financial aid. Awards are not guaranteed and funds depend on availability; annual review may adjust awards; recipients must notify the Section of any changes in circumstances. Donations to support the Fund are welcome and tax-deductible in France; contact fin@britishsection.fr for details.
