teaching time). This European Schooling responds to the needs of those students, from ITER countries, aged 12\/13 years, for whom teaching 50 % French and 50 % English would be a handicap for the preparation of the \u201cDipl\u00f4me National du Brevet\u201d at 9th Grade level. A fundamental principle of the European Schools is the teaching of mother tongue \/ dominant language as first language (L1). This principle implies the pupil\u2019s enrolment in the section of his\/her mother tongue \/ dominant where such a section exists.<br \/> The English language section of European Schooling is aimed at native English speakers. Taking a European Baccalaureate with first language English satisfies English Language requirements for non-native students entering a UK university.
