            Ecole Active Bilingue (EaB) is a co-educational elementary and secondary 
            day school founded in 1954 with a state contract from the French Ministry 
            of Education.
             Ecole Active Bilingue is an international school which offers an 
              education in bilingual English first language/French second language 
              or vice versa to boys and girls of all nationalities. The international character of the Ecole Active Bilingue is ensured 
              by a student body in which more than forty nationalities are represented; 
              the resulting cosmopolitan mix gives the school ample opportunity 
              to foster tolerance, fraternity and understanding of different cultures 
              in a spirit of harmony and co-operation. Ecole Active Bilingue is accredited by the Fulbright Commission 
              (Franco-American Commission for Educational Exchange), the British 
              examining boards of Cambridge, London, and Oxford, and by the International 
              Baccalaureate Organization. The The British and American Section of the Ecole Active Bilingue. 
              provides an American and/or British education for international 
              students living in Paris. They sit for international 'O' level and 
              IGCSE and progress to the new Curriculum 2000 AS/A2 syllabus (Advanced 
              Level). The IB programme is also offered.  The adaptation section enables non-French students to make a transition 
              to the French system, which leads to the final year (Terminale) 
              and the French Baccalareéat with European Endorsement or 
              the International Option (OIB). In the High School, the goal of 
              all programmes is the same essentially to prepare students to enter 
              American, British or French universities or those of other countries 
              which recognize the secondary exams and diplomas. The Ecole Active Bilingue emphasizes the study of languages, the 
              integration of students from many different countries, and the development 
              of an international, cross-cultural viewpoint. Admission to Ecole Active Bilingue is based upon an individual 
              interview, the evaluation of references from the previous school 
              (s), and entrance tests.  The Ecole Active Bilingue is located in the centre of Paris, on 
              the Right Bank, within 10 minutes' walking distance from the Arc 
              de Triomphe (Charles de Gaulle, Etoile).  |
