French Baccalaureate International Option

The international version of the French Baccalaureate Diploma is called the BFI, le Baccalauréat Français International. This diploma is an integrated Franco-British school-leaving certificate, combining the French Baccalaureate with extra subjects examined to English A-level standard studied over the course of two years. Students are assessed through two specific tests: Language and Literature, and History and Geography. There is one oral and one written examination for each subject. These assessments are carried out in the language of the specific section, in this case English as it is the Extended British Programme. This programme is widely reputed around Europe for its emphasis on the English language and British culture, history and geography. 

More information about the International Option of the French Baccalaureate is available on the French Ministry of Education and Youth website.
