The International Bilingual School of Provence, an independent coeducational school located near Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, owes its international character to the diversity of its student population. The school, established since 1984, has both a Primary and Secondary section with an annual total enrolment of 950 students who come from more than 75 different countries. In addition to the French students who make up 50% of the student population, IBS welcomes pupils from the five continents, both as boarding and day students, while they pursue their education in English, French or both.<\/p>\n
A particularity of the school is that the international section is not dominated by any one nationality and new students are made to feel at home immediately. Committed to French-English bilingualism, the school offers both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the French Baccalaureate. The school offers seven first languages to ensure that the student maintains his\/her own language skills.<\/p>\n
