For us the success of each student is our priority and the curriculum for each subject has been structured around a 3 year cycle to ensure continuity throughout the 9 years of mandatory schooling.

The main changes to the curriculum are based on continuity and consistency across subjects to allow improved tracking of student progress.

Cycle 3 which connect year 7 with primary school ensures a transition and a continuity of teaching and education between Primary and Lower Secondary. All pedagogical developments are accompanied by enrichment projects driven by the whole education community which allow for a perfect fit between students and the French education system.
