The parents association for the British Section at the Collège-Lycée international de Paris – Honoré de Balzac

APESA is ONLY for parents of children currently attending the school or those offered a place following the test results in June.

All parents in the international section share a common objective: enhance their children’s lives through sharing the language and culture of one or more sections available in the school.

Whilst the school provides a framework with formal teaching, family participation is key to bringing alive the benefits of this multi-cultural environment.
