The IB curriculum is based on the study of six school subjects groups :

- Individuals and Societies
- Sciences
- Mathematics
- Arts
Within these six study groups, each student chooses 1-2 subjects from a wide range, allowing everyone to have a global learning of essential subjects while specializing on particular topics.
At l’Atelier, the exams more specifically prepared in Vietnam by English and French-speaking students are the following :
- Language A : Literature (Self-Taught) : Introduction to literary criticism and analysis in French, for advanced or native students, where they are evaluated on written productions such as Essays, and on Oral Commentaries.
- Language A : Language and Literature (Self-Taught) : As for the above mentioned exam, this one is aimed at students speaking French fluently, with the difference that the variety of texts seen here is more diverse, since it does not only concern Literature, but all kinds of content.
- Language B : French : This course is designed for middle school students who already have a first experience in French.
- Ab Initio : French : This course is aimed at beginners, knowing little-to-no French.
