2011 saw the first collaboration between Beauville Arts and the British Section of the Collège & Lycée International de St Germain-en-Laye. At the instigation of the British Section Parents Association, Beauville Arts are now offering two musical theatre courses, during the Autumn and Spring holidays, exclusively to students of the British Section.
These weeks give students the opportunity to enhance their performing arts experience whilst both creating and cementing friendships, getting to know like-minded students perhaps from other year groups or college sites.
