Answers to specific questions parents have about the Montessori school
Absolutely. Our students are registered on Parcoursup like any other French high school student, and we support them through this crucial stage. Every year, 100% of our students are admitted to their first choice of university. They regularly enter the most prestigious establishments: Sciences Po, Oxford, Cambridge, preparatory classes, business schools and medical faculties in France and abroad. Their solid academic record, exceptional level of English (Cambridge C1/C2 certifications) and independent profile are major assets both for Parcoursup and for international applications (UK, USA, Canada).
At our school, students sit the official baccalauréat exams: the early French exams in Première, then the specialised exams and the Grand Oral in Terminale, in accordance with the national framework. Throughout the year, they benefit from structured academic preparation, regular practice sessions and demanding mock bacs, so that they can approach each exam with method and confidence. For Parcoursup, In addition to the above, we compile a complete and meticulous file including termly reports, detailed teacher assessments, regular evaluations and information highlighting the student's commitment and profile. Higher education establishments appreciate the quality of our pedagogical follow-up, the accuracy of our assessments and the autonomy developed by our students along the way.
The 7 specialities we offer (Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry, SVT, SES, HGGSP, LLCE English, Visual Arts) cover the vast majority of possible career paths: engineering schools, medicine, business, political science, preparatory classes, French and international universities.
