How to enrol your child in a lycée (Years 11-13)

This option prepares students for the General Baccalaureate and for higher education at a University or a Classe préparatoire (preparatory classes for the entrance examinations to France’s most prestigious universities, the grandes écoles).

Following the reforms to the baccalaureate examinations introduced in 2021, the previous streams (literary (L), economic and social sciences (ES) and scientific (S)) that were available to students studying for the general baccalaureate no longer exist. Instead, each student now chooses their own speciality subjects.

Technological education prepares students for short graduate courses.

There are 3 sections available:

• STMG Series: Technological Secondary Education Diploma in Management Sciences and Technologies
• STI2D series: Technological  Secondary Education diploma in Science and Technology of Industry and Sustainable Development – Energy and Environment option
• STHR series: Technological Secondary Education Diploma in Science and Technology for Hospitality and Catering

This channel is available to students at the end of Secondary School (Classe de 3eme – Year 10) in three areas of specialisation: Hotels and Catering, Service Sector and Industrial Sector.

The courses last 3 years and lead to one of the following 7 professional Baccalaureates. It is also possible to take a course leading to the award of a vocational training certificate (CAP). This course generally lasts two years.
