Lycée Louis Jouvet, Taverny (France)
The field of vocational education is important here, but we also have a very powerful and attractive general pole. We also train students of higher education: senior technician’s certificate in two different fields. We also work a lot in the field of self-learning. We are pilot in the field of educational innovation and cognitive sciences. Our teachers have been working together in interdisciplinarity for many, many years. We have a theater club, an arts club, health and citizenship clubs, engineering clubs, a film club and many other student-initiated activities.
Our high school offers courses in general, technological and professional fields. In general education, we offer the following specialties:
- History-geography, geopolitics and political science
- Humanities, literature and philosophy
- Foreign languages, literature and cultures
- languages and cultures of antiquity
- Mathematics
- Numerical and computer sciences
- Physics and chemistry
- Biology and geology
- Engineering sciences
- Economic and Social Sciences
In the technological part, we have courses in biology, health and social as well as science and technology of industry and sustainable development. We also have a strong international dynamic with a European section.
The students are between 15 and 18 years old with a very heterogeneous socio-economic and cultural level. We are not in a priority education zone but our students lack ambition.
