Life in the Anglophone Section: information for new families
​
At the start of each year, during the first week of school, a meeting is organised where the APESA President and the Head of Section welcome new parents to the Section. A "New Parents Presentation" is made (this year's presentation is shared below), which provides an overview of the Anglophone Section. In addition to this, staff have produced a guide to "Everyday Life at the CSI", which provides lots of useful information for new students and their families.

In this section you’ll find everything that you need to know to ensure that the start of the school year goes smoothly. Please read these documents carefully, and contact us on admin@csianglo.org if you have any questions or need more information. Please note that:
​

The CSI Lyon administration organises the return of all students in primary and secondary, and the arrangements can change from year to year. The return of students in secondary (collège and lycée) is usually staggered over the first week. Please read the official schedule carefully to find out when and where your children will be expected to present themselves.

To help new families the Anglophone Section has produced a simplified, English-language version of the schedule, which outlines the programme for students and parents for the first week of school. ​
Stationery & Supplies Lists​
In France students are generally expected to purchase their own stationery, workbooks (cahiers) and other supplies for use in the classroom. Lists are made available by the CSI Lyon administration before the end of the year, for the year ahead, and are usually given directly to students by their professeur(e) principal(e).
