After the conclusion of Collège (Junior School, the 6^th – 9^th years), the students continue their studies in the Lycée (Senior School) for three years (10^th-12^th years).  The “Seconde” year (“2de”, 10^th year) is decisive before the final phase, which is characterised by a progressive specialisation of studies from the Première" ("1ère", 11th year) to the  "Terminale" (Tle,

12th year).
