A summary of the EABJM curriculum is provided below. Detailed information is provided in the curriculum pages of each division: Nursery & Primary School, Middle School (Collège), Upper School (Lycée, including the International Baccalaureate), and Adaptation.

The lower and middle schools follow the French national curriculum with several exceptions:
  • English is taught every day and, in middle school, sciences, history (except French history), and geography are taught in English. Throughout their studies students are grouped according to their English proficiency level so that every subject can be taught at a challenging level.
  • The curriculum is enriched at all levels, not only with a more advanced English language and literature curriculum, but also, for example, with Chinese language instruction (compulsory in grades 3-4-5), an integrated science program in Lower School, and independent research projects in middle school.
In the upper school, 10th graders follow the national curriculum. In 11th grade, students choose between the French and the International Baccalaureate.
  • The French Baccalaureate has three concentrations: Literature (L); Economics and Social Sciences (ES); and Sciences (S). Students who have reached a native proficiency in English may elect the International Option (OIB), which involves a demanding English curriculum and History-Geography exams in English.
  • In the International Baccalaureate program (IB), Mathematics, Economics, Art and Design, European Studies, and Theory of Knowledge are taught in French while life and physical sciences courses and History are taught in English.
Adaptation curriculum: each year, EABJM welcomes more than one hundred new non-French speaking students who enroll in “adaptation” classes where they follow a French immersion program. A senior advisor follows them closely and, the following year, students join the mainstream where they continue to be supported with a special French program.
