The Dual Diploma Academica allows students at the Saint-Louis School Group to follow a dual degree program starting from 9th or 10th grade. The goal is to obtain the American High School Diploma alongside the French Baccalaureate.
Students study on-site at Saint-Louis and online with an American High School belonging to the Academica charter school network based in Florida. At the end of their final year, Saint-Louis students receive two distinct diplomas, each accredited by their respective authorities: the French Ministry of Education and the State Department of Education in the United States.
Thanks to bilateral agreements established by Academica, the official report cards from the French curriculum validate 18 out of the 24 credits required for the High School Diploma.
To earn their American diploma, Saint-Louis students complete 6 credits with Academica International Studies. The program consists of 4 mandatory subjects and 2 optional subjects called electives.
Throughout this dual-degree pathway, Saint-Louis students acquire numerous skills.
At the end of this innovative curriculum, guided by their American teachers, they receive the same diploma as students graduating from an American High School.


OPENNESS TO THE WORLD, A SCHOOL GROUP ON THE MOVE…

For about fifteen years, the institutions within the school group have been offering various study trips and language stays abroad. These trips have allowed and continue to allow students to immerse themselves in the history of a country or region, and to discover new ways of life, another culture, another language, and different traditions.
Going on a school trip with their institution is an essential and enriching educational experience.

These trips are also a way to develop a spirit of conviviality, sharing, mutual aid, exchanges, encounters, respect for others, social bonding, and to discover classmates and teachers from a different perspective.


GOING ON A SCHOOL TRIP WITH ONE’S SCHOOL IS AN ESSENTIAL AND ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

These school trips are a way to give meaning to learning, to spark students’ curiosity by encouraging direct contact with the cultural and linguistic environment, and to put into practice the foreign language lessons they have received.

In vocational high school and BTS programs, students can also complete their internships abroad.
