From Tuesday 15 April 2025, the Department will receive visitors in its new offices situated at 5 Promenade Honoré II. - Hall A (2nd floor) - 98000 Monaco, due to the department’s relocation.
The enrolment period for Lycée in public and private schools for the 2025-2026 school year will take place on the following dates:
In state schools: from Monday 13 January to Friday 20 June 2025 inclusive.
In private schools: from Monday 13 January to Monday 2 June 2025 inclusive.
Lycées provide education for teenagers aged 15 to 17, from Seconde (Year 11) to Terminale (Year 13). At the end of this three-year programme, students take the baccalaureate examination.
Understanding the process
All children aged six to sixteen who are Monegasque nationals or living in Monaco must be enrolled in a state or private school in the Principality (Act no 1.334 of 12 July 2007).
For the second part of their secondary education, children attend a lycée.
For pupils who are Monegasque nationals or whose parents are legally resident in Monaco, and who are applying to enrol in the Principality for the first time.
For pupils enrolled in 3ème (Year 10) in a Monegasque school.
In other cases, a request for exemption is required from the Department of Education, Youth and Sport (DENJS). This can be done between 1 January and 15 May 2025.
If your child is enrolled in a school outside the Principality or is homeschooled, you are required to inform the Director of the Department of Education, Youth and Sport by submitting a declaration.
The declaration should state the surname(s), first name(s) and date of birth of your child, their address and the details of the school in which they are enrolled.
In addition, I would like to remind you that anyone failing to meet this obligation is liable to criminal prosecution.
You will be subject to the terms and checks set out in Article 5 of Act no. 1.334 of 12 July 2007 concerning education
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.
