University Counselling
The Anglophone section helps its students and others of the CSI to make the right choices for higher education by providing an overseas University counselling service.
Three part-time counsellors, all of whom are Anglophone section teachers, are available for consultation by appointment and we have a resource room supplied with university guides and prospectuses as well as other further education and career material. In addition we have a data bank of information about the futher education of former students, which provides important guidance and contacts.

Anglophone section student orientation
100% of the students go on to higher education within a year of completing their OIB. The percentage applying to universities outside France has been growing and now over 50% of the cohort make foreign applications, generally to English-speaking universities.
The orientation of our students is diverse in both their destination and in their choice of subjects. All, however, have had the opportunity to enter very good universites of their choice, as the following list demonstrates:
