About the Middle School
Middle school marks students’ entry into secondary education. It comprises four years, from 6e to 3e.
Passionate teachers who are specialists in their subjects provide courses; they follow the French curriculum implemented by the French Ministry of National Education.
Students study different subjects to acquire the “socle commun de connaissances, de compétences et de culture” (the common foundation of knowledge, skills and culture).
The last year of middle school is a milestone for students as they take their first national exam (DNB) and make their first course or career decisions.
All middle school students have between 29 and 30 hours of compulsory lessons a week, which they can supplement with optional subjects.
