The secondary school is structured into three cycles.

S1/S2/S3: Observation Cycle

The focus is placed on languages, mathematics and integrated sciences, humanities, the arts, and physical education. From S3 onwards, humanities and ethics are taught in L2.

S4/S5: Pre-orientation Cycle

Students begin to make a number of subject choices while still following the core curriculum. The choices made at this stage may influence their options for the European Baccalaureate. It is therefore essential to carefully consider these decisions.

S6/S7: Orientation Cycle

This cycle covers the last two years of secondary school. Students choose a set of options while continuing to follow a core curriculum that leads to the European Baccalaureate. The choices made at this stage may already impact their higher education path. Cycle coordinators are available to support students in their decision-making.
