Colette International (School)

**Colette International High School for Bilingual Students** is the fictional school attended by the characters in the *Colette International* series. It's supposedly located Rue Des Écoles (Schools Street) in the 5th district of Paris.

## General Information

**Colette International** is, in Camille's words, "an awesome bilingual school with a really affordable fee that everyone should attend." It's implied most of the students are well-off, some like Xavier are obviously super wealthy, so the "affordable fee" is debatable.

Colette is functioning as a typical French high school, but the lessons are delivered in English. Most of the teachers mentioned in the series have French names. The students can come from all over the world, but it appears most of them are French.

Headmaster Van Bergen administrates the school. He's rumoured to suspend the students from the ceiling when they misbehave, but there isn't any evidence of that. The school also has a nurse named Sana, but she's only present two or three days per week.

The school is located near a gymnasium with a small football field, where the Colette football (soccer) team trains several times a week.

Colette International seems to offer many after school (optional) and weekend classes, such as sports clubs, Maths, Spanish, Italian, Latin and Ancient Greek. They also have a Drama Club, led by Laurent Duvauchel, a French literature teacher and as of September 2010, they have their own newspaper, called *The Colette Times,* with Elisa Rodin as editor-in-chief.

## Football Team

Colette has its own football team. They seem to be a certain rivalry between them and the American High School of Paris (also fictional).

The team's uniform is composed of a white shirt with blue vertical stripes, blue shorts, and white socks.

When Mathias asks Alberto how many players are on the team, Alberto replies there are twenty-two and specifies, "Eleven good ones, eleven seat-fillers." Mathias's reaction indicates Alberto is telling the truth.

Eric Tucker-Régnier was captain of the team from September 2009 to September 2010 when he surrendered the title to his former friend Kayvin, seemingly to smooth things over between them after their fight. As of September 2010, Mathias Rodin was their goalkeeper.
