Yes. The EABJM considers language exchange programs as an extremely important apart of the curriculum. The school currently has exchange programs with schools in the US, in Japan and in Beijing, China. Most exchange programs last two weeks. In addition, language teachers organize extended weekend trips to cities in the UK, Italy, Austria, Spain and Germany. These visits are designed to give the students a chance to practice their language skills and experience the culture.

There are no organized study halls at present, but the school library is open until 17:30.

Absolutely! Each year, EABJM welcomes more than one hundred new non-French speaking students. Up to CP (first grade) children are placed directly with other students at the appropriate age/grade level. Beginning in CE1 (second grade), new non-French speaking students enroll in "adaptation" classes where they follow a French immersion program. A senior advisor follows them closely and, the following year, students join the mainstream where they continue to be supported with a special French program that involves three weekly hours of special French classes over and above the standard French curriculum. Living in France provides further language and cultural immersion.
