Educational Counseling
Course guidance at the Lycée Français Victor Hugo is designed to help students shape and pursue a pathway that reflects their individual interests and aspirations. Students are supported throughout secondary school in developing and refining their personalized educational and career guidance plan.
In middle school, students are introduced to the professional world through thematic approaches across several subjects. In 3e (9th grade), they present their internship experiences and reflect on their career interests during an oral exam as part of the Parcours Avenir program, which is included in the Brevet (middle school diploma).
In high school, a significant portion of time is devoted each year to deepening students’ reflections on their future study and career paths.
They receive valuable, individualized guidance to help them make informed choices, supported by close collaboration between students, parents, homeroom teachers, the assistant principal, and M. Morvany, who oversees the course guidance program. This project, under the supervision of the principal, serves as a structured journey of information, orientation, and discovery of the economic and professional world.
Key Events Supporting Students’ Educational and Career Choices
Internship
In 3e (9th grade), students participate in a one-day work shadowing placement. The following year, in Seconde, they complete a three-week internship, giving them the opportunity to bring their career plans to life and experience the realities of the professional world firsthand.
Career Fair
The school career fair gives students the opportunity to meet a wide range of professionals and LFIVH alumni. A group of engaged parents and school professionals work in close collaboration to inform and advise students.

Each year, students in Première (11th grade) participate in the Franco-German Forum in Strasbourg, where they learn about binational study programs.
