le collège Calypso
There are about 600 pupils in our school from 6ème (6th grade) to 3ème ( 10th grade), and 40 teachers. There are about 24 pupils in each grade. Each grade has the name of a color!
school starts at 8:30 am and ends at 4:55 pm. There are 4 classes in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
There are 2 recesses: one in the morning, and one in the afternoon.
And there is a break for lunch from 12:30 to 1:50.
All the students have the same subjects : maths, French, history, geography,technology, art, music, science,PE, a foreign language = English or German in 6th grade ( and a second foreign language in 8th grade : English , German or Spanish). They can take latin and greek in 8th grade as well.
And now, some information about me! I am 34 years old, I have started teaching English in 2000.
I teach English to 5 "classes" this year : the 6 yellow, 6 purple, 5 blue, 5 red and 4 green. The students in 6ème (6th grade 10-11 years old) have 4 hours of English per week. For the others (5ème= grade7 11-12 years old / 4ème= grade 8 12-13 years old), there are 3 hours of English per week. So... I have 18 hours per week at school... teaching. But I work at home too! teachers have got tons of homework ;)

Education in France
The French educational system is divided into three different stages:
primary, secondary and higher education.
At the primary and secondary levels, the curriculum is the same for all French students in any given grade.
Many parents start sending their children around age 3 to kindergarten , and Primary school is for pupils aged 6 to 10.
The names of the grades seem complicated and illogical, don't they??
the school year extends from early-September to early-July.
Christmas (Noël), two weeks around Christmas Day and New Year's Day;
winter (hiver), two weeks starting in mid-February;
spring (printemps) or Easter (Pâques) , two weeks starting in mid-April;
summer (été), two months starting in early-July.

French secondary education is divided into two schools:
- the collège for the first four years directly following primary school;
- the lycée for the next three years.
The Brevet des collèges is the first official diploma a pupil has to sit at the end of the final year at "collège"
The completion of secondary studies leads to the baccalauréat, it is the end-of-lycée diploma students sit for in order to enter university, a classe préparatoire, or professional life. The term baccalauréat refers to the diploma and the examinations themselves. It is comparable to English & Welsh A-Levels, American SATs or ACTs, the Irish Leaving Certificate, Australia's Higher School Certificate and the German Abitur.
