Regulatory Clarification Notice
The official French website of AISEC is currently under development. Until the full website is active, this temporary public declaration page provides essential legal, institutional, and regulatory information concerning AISEC’s French-rooted structure, international operations, and private institutional awards.
This temporary page is published for clarification only. It is not currently used as a student enrolment portal, tuition collection platform, full programme website, commercial advertising campaign, or student contract.
Important Terminological Note
The phrase “filed a declaration” is used deliberately. AISEC does not use the terms “approved,” “recognised,” or “accredited” in relation to its French declaration unless and until official written approval has been received from the competent French authority.
About AISEC
AISEC — Académie Internationale Secondaire des Examens et Certifications — is an private french international baccalaureate board, secondary examination and certification body. AISEC delivers its own proprietary K–12 and adult education curriculum and issues its own private institutional awards exclusively under the name of AISEC.

Bloomington University provides custodial governance, institutional charter authority, constitutional authority, fiduciary oversight, curriculum governance, and quality assurance oversight for AISEC’s global academic framework. AISEC’s accreditation coverage supports institutional governance, curriculum quality, assessment integrity, and private institutional award issuance.
AISEC was established in 2021 with its founding legal base in the United States of America. Its United States academic operations are declared/listed with the California Department of Education as a private school system.

Bloomington University SAS has filed a declaration with the Académie de Paris for AISEC to operate as a private distance teaching establishment under Articles L.444-1 et seq. of the French Education Code.

AISEC’s Own Private Institutional Awards
AISEC issues its own private institutional awards under the authority of Académie Internationale Secondaire des Examens et Certifications — AISEC. These awards are created, governed, assessed, and issued by AISEC under its own proprietary curriculum, assessment framework, and certification standards.
France System
For students resident in France enrolled through the France enrollment and the Awarding System, AISEC uses the English spelling “Baccalaureate” in its credential titles, in accordance with the terminological distinction adopted for French regulatory compliance.
- Diplôme du Baccalaureate Secondaire
- Diplôme du Baccalaureate Secondaire Supérieur
These are private institutional qualifications and are not French State diplomas (diplômes d’État), not RNCP-registered qualifications.
Global System Outside France
For students outside France, AISEC operates through its global enrollment and the Awarding System under its non-French registrations and historical international framework. Global credentials may carry the French spelling historically used outside France:
- Diplôme du Baccalauréat Secondaire
- Diplôme du Baccalauréat Secondaire Supérieur
These global awards are issued outside France and are not offered to students resident in France through the France enrollment system.
Dual Awarding Clarification
The dual system is an awarding and enrolment separation, not a curriculum separation. AISEC applies the same curriculum framework, examination architecture, assessment standards, and academic expectations across its systems. The difference in terminology reflects jurisdictional legal compliance, not a difference in academic quality, rigour, or level.
These are private institutional qualifications issued by AISEC under the custodial governance and institutional charter framework of Bloomington University, Curaçao and post approval under Articles L.444-1 et seq. of the French Education Code before the Académie de Paris (French Ministry of National Education).
Public Clarification
For the avoidance of misunderstanding, AISEC makes the following clarification:
- AISEC is not the French Ministry of National Education.
- AISEC is not a French public or a private physical school.
- AISEC is not a French State (Government) examination board.
- AISEC does not issue French State (Government) diplômes d’État / Baccalauréat (BAC).
- AISEC credentials are not RNCP-registered qualifications unless separately and expressly authorised by the competent French authority.
Any reference to level, grade, credit, international comparability, or academic equivalency is provided only for transparency and educational understanding and does not constitute French State recognition.
Distance and Technology-Enabled Education
AISEC’s educational model is built around distance teaching, proprietary curriculum design, assessment architecture, and credential issuance. Its curriculum may be delivered through technology-enabled modes, including online, blended, HyFlex, and supervised delivery models, depending on jurisdiction and applicable local law.
Physical Operations in France
AISEC does not currently operate a daily physical K–12 school campus in France and does not currently conduct regular physical K–12 classes in France. Any future physical activity in France, if any, will be subject to the applicable French legal requirements.
