It is therefore the seat of many different organizations and events, from science fairs to sports teams, and a myriad of things in between.

The school is divided into 7 major sectors, each unofficially called by the hundred of its number (example: "Secteur 400).

Facilities include a large gymnasium, swimming pool (also used for public swimming classes), two symphony practice rooms, a cafeteria, several manual work-related rooms for special education, a small greenhouse, and an extensive laboratory section.

The Music program is incorporated into the school symphony, and in their final year, may also take part in a stage band.

While there is an admittable difference in grading between the "internationals" and other students, this is often explained on the basis that those who are accepted into the program are chosen for their desire to work harder and learn more enriched content.
