"If you want an international career, get to know other cultures, learn English from the first hour of class and become bilingual, don't hesitate, the American Business School is for you! » Clarisse Watine, THE AMERICAN BUSINESS SCHOOL: UNE AMÉRICAINE À PARIS, Fady Fadel, American Business School’s Director, 30 of April 2019 "https://www.mondedesgrandesecoles.fr/the-american-business-school-une-americaine-a-paris/"

This wave of success began in 2012, after two championships: the quarter-finals of the French university basketball Championships, but above all the final of the Grandes Ecole’s Championship, won in the Paris region. The following year, the team qualified and won 3rd place in the Grandes Ecole’s Championship. In 2014, success is again at the rendezvous with a silver and bronze medal at the Championships of the Grandes Ecole’s in Paris and Lyon. 2015 was marked by obtaining 3rd place in the Lyon championship, to once again achieve a resounding victory in 2016, during the Grandes Ecole’s Championship. Last year, the results were again more than satisfactory, with the victory of the Paris Championship, and a good 3rd place for that of Rennes.

It should be noted that the success, efficiency and pugnacity of the team are impressive because its members come from different schools of the IGS group: they do not necessarily have the opportunity to see each other off the field, there is also a fairly substantial turnover, two criteria that penalize team spirit.

This is why we are all the prouder of the results of the team, which despite all these constraints has achieved a more than the honorable course, and we sincerely hope that this success will continue!

The launch of the Sports Academy. It allows high-level athletes (basketball, tennis, horse riding, karate, etc.) to continue training, competitions and studies at the same time.
