The School Programme
- Teaching is free of charge.
- We are not a boarding school, so students must make own accommodation arrangements.
- The course covers two consecutive years.
- The school takes about 40 students.
- Classes are held from Tuesday to Sunday (inclusive), and are obligatory.
- Attendance is checked every day.
- The schedule includes regular presentations in each subject, so that both students and teachers can present their work to the director, Michel Gascard.
- Student evaluations are sent to their families three times a year.
