The school year, period by period
When report cards, entrance exams and ministry exams fall, and when it is worth getting ahead of them. The current period opens automatically.
Summer catch-up and resits
This is when you repair the year that just ended. The ministry holds a resit session in August for students who failed a June exam.

- Consolidation before the new year
- French training runs all year
HOW WE CAN HELP
- Summer lessons and catch-up
- Exam preparation

HOW WE CAN HELP

End of the first term and January exams

- Ministry exam session in January
- Second report card in February
HOW WE CAN HELP

March break, a week that can change everything
A few hours during March break are often worth more than three evenings a week in April, when everyone is tired.
WHAT HAPPENS

- Intensive catch-up possible
- Last quiet window before year end
HOW WE CAN HELP
- School tutoring
- Exam preparation
The month when preparation is decided
