Continuity

When our students reach the end of the school years at the Ecole Française de Bâle, they join the best schools of the cross-border Basel area, such as the Lycée Franco-Allemand in Freiburg, the Collège des Missions de Blotzheim, the Don Bosco de Landser, as well as the public secondary schools in Hegenheim or Saint-Louis, and the Collège Jeanne D’Arc or Jean XXIII in Mulhouse.

Some other students choose bilingual schools such as ISB or SIS, or join the public schools of the Canton of Basel, or the Collège Saint Charles in Porrentruy. Furthermore, our 6th grade (6eme), created since the start of the 2020/2021 school year, will allow from September 2022 a direct access to the swiss secondary school system in Basel without any entrance exam.

Linguistic and educational projects

The students contribute to many projects all along the school year. Focused on langauges, and on the education to the environment and living together, these projects allow to live the learnings in a local context and to reuse them during the calss time. Inter-school sports gatherings offer to the students the opportunity to be confronted to others.
