Preparation for the EUROPEAN BACCALAUREATE

The curriculum for all the language sections, with the exception of the mother tongue, is identical and subject to the same requirements. All the language sections prepare the students for the same examination: the European Baccalaureate.

The final examination takes place at the end of S7 and consists of five written papers (including compulsory Language I, Language II and Mathematics) and three oral papers (including one in Language I and one to be chosen between an oral in Language II or in a subject taught in Language II).
