Action & Orientation

After the 4 years of consolidation provided by Collège comes the Sixth Form cycle, called cycle Terminal (15-18 years). The choices made by pupils will determine their paths as students. Sixth Form education is spread over 3 years, characterised by action and orientation:

  • Seconde (2nde or Year 11)
  • Première (1ère or Year 12
  • Terminale (Tle or Year 13)

2 opportunities are available to our students:

  • The high school to the Baccalaureate which proceeds from the programs of the French education system
  • International Baccalaureate with a Grade 10, 11 and 12 obtaining the Diploma Programme (DP)

Educational options

Monday to Friday, sixth form students have an average of 35 hours of lessons/week*

From the start of seconde, pupils can choose:

  • The European section with 1 hour of additional English and 1 hour of DNL (non linguistic discipline), it is 1 hour of geography in English.
  • ESABAC with 3 hours of history/ geography in Italian on Italian school programs and 4 hours of Italian (literature)

The school offers 6 speciality courses (mathematics, physical sciences, SVT, HGGSP, LLCE and SES). In order not to leave any student alone in the face of their difficulties, each team sets up a system entitled “SOS matières” which provides individualized support to each student on school time.

Special attention is paid to the orientation of students with the support of two teachers responsible for orientation and the implementation of the Odyssup program during the 3 years of high school.

*Based on options and complementary courses.
