The Lyce9e Frane7ais Charles de Gaulle de Londres offers a French Curriculum aligned with the French Ministry of Education, including a British Section and two specialized tracks: the Plurilingual Section and the International Section. The plurilingual section is a curriculum allowing students to learn a wide variety of languages: German, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Arabic; at the end of 2nde, a plurilingual student with a very good level of English can take the IGCSE English Language. The international section is a curriculum focused on strengthening the teaching of the English language and culture; continuing in Seconde leads to two IGCSE exams (English Language and English Literature), and continuing in Première and Terminale leads to the BFI (Baccalauréat Français International). The British Section follows the English curriculum for GCSEs and A-Levels, with French as a compulsory subject at both levels. All lycée pupils receive at least three reports per year.
