Overview
Overview
Bilingual French-English teaching is the starting point at Jeannine Manuel School, where international exchange and pedagogical innovation shape the curriculum rather than decorate it. The co-educational London provision runs from nursery to Year 13 across sites near Russell Square and Bedford Square. French and English are both working languages, not simply subjects on the timetable.
The French national curriculum provides the structure, with English, science and Chinese programmes developed for pupils. In primary, French and English share the teaching. In secondary, science is taught in English, while history and geography use both languages and perspectives. That common programme continues through Year 11, building critical thinking, curiosity and subject knowledge before final qualifications.
After Year 11, students choose the French International Baccalaureate or the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Sixth-form study spans languages, mathematics, science, humanities and arts; the IB core adds theory of knowledge, an extended essay and creativity, activity and service. Rolling admissions include an interview and presentation, and non-French-speaking pupils can enter the bilingual route.
