Results of the 2018-2019 Baccalaureat
The Baccalaureat is a French Diploma confirming the completion of secondary education and gives access to higher education.
At the International French School (Singapore), students can choose amongst the following Baccalaureat options: L – Language and Literature, ES – Economics and Social Science and S – Math and Science. They can also choose between:
- a regular Baccalaureat
- a Baccalaureat with European Section
- a Baccalaureat Option Internationale – British section (not to confuse with IB: International Baccalaureate): written and oral examinations in English in literature, history and geography.
Early Examinations for the Baccalaureat
They are for Première (grade 11) students and include:
- written and oral examinations in French, for all the candidates in the ES, L and S streams
- an examination in sciences for candidates in the ES and L streams.
The Final Examinations
You will find below a link to the Eduscol page (in French) from the French Ministry of National Education that will introduce you to the specificity of each stream.
The “Option International” of the Baccalaureat – British Section
The OIB is the general French Baccalaureat diploma where it is added « Option Internationale » and the language section in which the student is enrolled. It is a specific feature of the French Baccalaureat that lays more emphasis on knowing the culture and language of the partner country.
The OIB is made of mandatory core examinations that correspond to each stream, except for the written and oral examinations in modern Languages A (LVA) which is English at IFS, and History-Geography.
Theses examinations are replaced by two specific examinations: Languages and Literature and History-Geography, with each having an oral and a written section. These specific examinations are done in the language of the chosen section and have a different weight that can make up between 32 and 37% of the final grade of the Baccalaureat, depending on the stream.
