(from 10 years old)

Class

Our establishment accepts children in their last year of primary, known in Geneva as 8P Harmos, and in France as CM2 (Year 6 in UK system and 5th grade in USA).

BACCALAUREATE

Preparation for the French baccalaureate exams (3ème, 2nde, 1ère and terminale classes, the equivalent of Year 10 to 13 in the UK and 9th to 12th grade in the USA)

THE FRENCH BACCALAUREATE IS INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED:

le lycee classes bacca The French baccalaureate is a world-renowned springboard towards successful further education. It opens the doors of all Swiss and foreign universities and schools. It is obtained with an overall pass of 10/20 with a coefficient system and no minimum qualifying grade.

More than a simple diploma, the French baccalaureate develops an analytic mind and an in-depth general culture.

THE NEW BACCALAUREATE FROM 2021:

This reform replaces the different series of baccalaureate (science, economy, literature & arts) with a general programme completed by 3 speciality subjects chosen by the students, and if they wish extra, optional subjects.

So:

All baccalaureate students will benefit from the being taught the same basic subjects, guaranteeing the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and the success of each student.
Students will choose 3 speciality subjects in which to extend their proficiency in their areas of interest, thereby studying their favourite subjects further and increasing their motivation!
Students can increase their results further thanks to optional subjects such as mathematics, Latin, a third foreign language, Arts and Sport.

SECONDARY

Classes

We follow the Swiss programmes known as 9ème R3, 10ème R3, and 11ème LS, which correspond to the three-year lower secondary Genevan system. These classes are also referred to as 6ème, 5ème, and 4ème in our establishment and are the equivalent of 6th to 8th grade in the US and years 7 to 9 in the UK systems.
