Our major assets
With small class sizes and personalised support, the Collège provides an optimal setting for students’ learning and personal development. Our approach focuses on academic excellence, language development and the discovery of new talents through a variety of activities.
Wide choice of languages
Pupils can start learning a second foreign language from Year 6, from a choice of 7 languages, plus Latin and Greek, to give them a broader linguistic perspective.
Language exchange
The FASPS exchange in Seattle (USA) gives4th year students the opportunity to experience linguistic and cultural immersion, helping them to develop their English, their independence and their international outlook.
Teaching in English
At collège, some subjects are taught in English, encouraging linguistic immersion and enabling students to progress in English while developing bilingual skills.
Extra-curricular activities
The programme offers a variety of activities, from sport to bee-keeping, enriched by the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) programme, to stimulate creativity, commitment and a spirit of solidarity.
Personalised follow-up
Every week, pupils benefit from an extra hour of French, between 1.5 and 2.15 hours of supervised study time every day, and personalised support in maths and French to consolidate what they have learnt.
Small staff
Our classes are small to ensure that learning takes place in the best possible conditions: between 15 and 20 pupils.
Focus on French
One hour of French per week is planned to reinforce expression, comprehension and basic language skills, making a total of 144 hours over 4 years, to help students succeed in all subjects.
Dictation at Les Roches
Dictation helps pupils to improve their spelling through 3 practice dictations and a final that rewards the best, in a fun and stimulating approach to the basics.
Theatre
1 hour of theatre a week for all secondary school pupils to learn how to speak in public.
Dys programme
The Dys project offers personalised support for pupils with dyslexia, thanks to trained teachers and a dedicated centre, providing adapted facilities to help them succeed at school.
Educational programme
At Collège, we teach work methods adapted to each subject while helping students to structure and organise their time. We guide them in constructing their reasoning and mastering written, oral and visual communication. Emphasis is placed on independence, which is essential for their future success, as well as on perfecting fluency in written and spoken English, to ensure an international outlook.
