High School

In high school, there are different choices of pathway to prepare for tertiary education.

1. Three years to complete high school chosen courses and prepare for tertiary education.

High school, whether it is a “general” or more technological path, includes three classes: la seconde (Year 10 (AU) / Year 11 (NZ), la première (year 11 (AU) / Year 12 (NZ) and la terminale (finale year : year 12 (AU) year 13 (NZ). Year 10 /11 has still the shared common base of knowledge for students. Student wishing to pursue studies in either a general or technological pathway, will make the choice between these two at the end of this year. Lycée LE CLEZIO offers then both the general Baccalaureate and the Technological Baccalaureate in STMG (Sciences and Technologies of Management and Administration).Year 11 /12 and year 12 / 13 lead to the baccalaureate exam. The baccalaureate is the first level of tertiary education. As such, it allows students to continue their studies at university or other tertiary establishments.

Year 10 / 11 is the last year where students follow a completely common curriculum.
They must make choices at the end of it before starting year 11 / 12 and follow their individualised pathway:
A two path choice of : General or Technological (Lycée Le Clézio offers both options)
Choices of Specialised Subjects: Students will determine the main subjects they will follow in year 11 /12 and in their final year by selecting 3 specialised subjects at the beginning of this year, 2 of which will be continued in the final year.

Year 10 / 11 (seconde) : a curriculum based on common subjects and different optional subjects.
