HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM AND SECONDAIRE II

The French Baccalauréat is a diploma recognised by universities worldwide because it enables students to develop complete intellectual training, rigorous thinking, and a solid general culture. Students in this stream study a curriculum of core subjects, which they complement with specialised courses that enhance their scientific, literary or economic profile.

The French Baccalauréat is a two-year course. It combines the final tests of the official examinations with a continuous assessment component (taking into account the grades obtained in Première and Terminale, which recognises the student's regular work). Our students have the status of "school candidates" thanks to an agreement between the Rectorat de l'académie de Grenoble and the Groupement des Ecoles Suisses préparant au Baccalauréat Français www.gesbf.ch, which we chair.

An internationally recognised bilingual diploma 

At Collège du Léman, we have opted for a bilingual (English/French) Maturité Fédérale, in which Geography, History and the Complementary Option are taught entirely in English. 

The choice of Specific Option begins in Troisième and offers each student the opportunity to study a subject at a higher level, and thus build a degree in line with their aspirations: science, medicine, law, economics or literature.

This highly multidisciplinary training enables students to become more independent, acquire a broad general knowledge and hone their critical thinking skills. These qualities, combined with bilingualism, put students in the best possible position to tackle and succeed in their higher education studies and their professional lives.

Preparation for the diploma is based on regular, personalised coaching of each student. We organise mock exams three times a year.

Exams in February

 Since 2020, Collège du Léman has been a pioneer in presenting its candidates for the February examination session. This gives our students the opportunity to take pre-university courses, do work placements and take advantage of a timetable that is more in line with the start of the university year, thus ensuring that they have the best possible conditions for their first steps at university.

The examinations comprise written and oral tests spread over the final two years of study. The teachers accompany the candidates during their stay, providing revision sessions the day before each exam and guidance to the examination rooms.
