Dear Parents and Students,

Before you pack up for summer holiday, make sure that you have your required summer reading!  Please click on the appropriate PDF below to find out what you need to read this summer.  

Please note that students entering 2nde Literature have two separate reading lists.  

All students will be  given a summer reading assignment at the rentrée.  

Incoming 4ème, 3ème, 2nde and 1ère students also have a summer history reading list and assignment that should be completed during the holiday and handed in at the rentrée.  Make sure you take note of the assignment BEFORE you start reading your book, as this will facilitate the writing process.  

We are pleased to announce that, after having listened to your feedback, we have decided to return to the system that was in place for ASB textbook purchases prior to COVID. 

To simplify the process for parents and to ensure that books arrive on time for the start of the school year, the Anglophone section has organized the purchase of all textbooks, workbooks, and class readers for all students in 6ème through Terminale. (Parents of incoming 2ndes need to purchase one anthology over the summer and have already been duly informed.)

Books have also been ordered for all students in the Primary Passport to English classes; however, students in the Primary Bilingual classes will need to purchase their own books for September and will not be charged. (Parents of Primary Bilingual class students will have already received the relevant information concerning book details from the Primary school.)

Please note that you will be billed directly for your child's books during the first trimester of 2023-2024.It should also be noted that ASB will be purchasing textbooks for students this Autumn.  New students should refer to the PDF ‘New_Students_books_2023-24’ for the list of books that should be purchased before school begins.  

Happy Summer Reading!
