The foreign language programme aims at offering our students a direct confrontation with foreign cultures, and it includes the opportunity to experience a cultural exchange with students from foreign high schools. Through this first-hand experience it is possible for our students to meet foreign students, their families and their schools.

Cultural exchanges have all ready taken place with two French schools:
- Marcelin Barthélot School of the borough of Pantin (twinned with Scandicci);
- Suger St.Denis School of the city of Paris;
