About The Anglophone Section of Fontainebleau
The Anglophone Section of Fontainebleau is a co-educational independent all-through school based in Fontainebleau in France.
The Anglophone Section of Fontainebleau was created in 1979 by official decree of the French Ministry of Education. It was one of the very first international sections created by the Ministry and has over 420 students on roll, representing more than 22 different nationalities. The Anglophone Section prepares students for IGCSEs in English and English Literature, and for the “International” portion of the OIB (Option International du Baccalauréat) exams. The French state system prepares them for the remaining subjects that make up the OIB exams. The subjects themselves depend on the stream chosen – Scientific, Economic and Social, or Literature.

Values and vision
The Anglophone Section of Fontainebleau believes developing critical thinking skills by challenging its students to resolve problems from several different cultural perspectives is a key part of its educational focus. Students are taught to develop the self-confidence and adaptability needed to be able to think on their feet and challenge assumptions in a multicultural environment. The school also attempts to offer several cultural activities including drama, music and school trips. It also seeks to provide what it considers to be a safe, healthy, outdoor setting for its pupils. The school is also dedicated to using small class sizes to encourage more one-to-one learning, enabling teachers to better take into account students’ differing abilities.
