Classes & Faculty

Our college preparatory curriculum culminates with the American High School diploma and includes Humanities, Social Studies, Math, Sciences, Communication, French and Electives. Our small student to teacher ratio allows teachers to tailor the curriculum to meet the specific needs of each student. Individualized study opportunities are afforded to students pursuing honors level classes with the intention of taking AP exams; SAT preparatory classes are offered on a regular basis.

The American School of Grenoble also provides French instruction for all students as we believe that immersion in French culture and language enhances life experiences and extra-curricular activities.

French

Our students take some lessons alongside regular CSI students.  For example, Sport is given by the CSI in grades 6th through 9th.  These lessons are taught in French and provide an excellent opportunity to help students acquire fluency in the French language.  The ASG also provides intensive French instruction.

Faculty

Our faculty comes from as diverse a group of nationalities as our student population. Current staff are from England, America, Australia etc. Our teachers have teaching backgrounds and university degrees related to the subject they are teaching as well as a passion for working with the expatriate population- many of our teachers are themselves expatriates.

Guidance Programme

Individualized attention is one of our top priorities and strengths. We understand what it is like to move to and adapt to life in a foreign country, and with a dedicated staff from a wide range of international backgrounds, we are sensitive to the intercultural adaptation difficulties that students may encounter. We offer a strong student support and advisory program enabling smooth adaptation and flexible learning programs focusing on, and adapted to, each student’s academic goals. Our low student-teacher ratios help foster a strong sense of community within our school.
