At the International Bilingual School of Provence (IBS), every student’s journey is unique, shaped by curiosity, perseverance, and a passion for learning. Today, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on two outstanding members of the Class of 2025, who have been part of the IBS family since 6ème (6th grade) and have just achieved remarkable academic milestones.

Apolline Renaud: A Global Future at UCL
Meanwhile, Apolline has successfully completed the IB Diploma, a challenging and internationally recognized program. Her hard work has paid off with an acceptance to University College London (UCL), a world-leading university known for its academic excellence and vibrant intellectual community. Apolline’s achievement highlights the global opportunities that an IBS education provides, equipping students to thrive in top universities worldwide.
Gabriel Borot: Excellence in the French Baccalaureate
Gabriel has earned the prestigious "Mention Très Bien" on the French Baccalaureate, a testament to his dedication and intellectual rigor. His outstanding results have secured him a place in a highly competitive scientific classe préparatoire at Lycée Thiers, one of France’s most renowned institutions for preparing students for elite Grandes Écoles. Gabriel’s journey reflects not only academic brilliance but also the resilience and discipline that define an IBS learner.
More Than Just Grades – The IBS Spirit
While their academic accomplishments are impressive, what truly makes Gabriel and Apolline stand out is how they embody the IB Learner Profile:
Inquirers – Always curious and eager to explore new ideas.
Knowledgeable – Deeply engaged in their fields of study.
Reflective – Thoughtful about their learning and growth.
Balanced – Committed to both academic and personal development.
Risk-takers – Willing to step out of their comfort zones to achieve greatness.
