5th, 4th and 3rd grades: Cycle 4, the in-depth cycle
The objective is to allow students to develop skills in the various disciplines and in the cross-curricular pathways. The health education pathway, the artistic and cultural education pathway and the citizenship pathway offer students, adolescents who are experiencing a new relationship with themselves and with others, a framework for building, in a climate of confidence, the skills that are indispensable in the face of the abundance of new knowledge and new technologies, particularly digital. They should be able to approach interdisciplinary situations with personal and creative thinking while respecting the standards that are part of a common culture. At the end of the9th grade, students take the diplôme national du brevet.
