Grade tests

For who ? Why ?

They are intended for pupils who have completed the registration procedure in the establishment and who are educated in an establishment whose programs are not approved by the French Ministry of National Education (1)

Their purpose is to match the wishes of the family with the educational reality of the level required in the French education system at the time of registration.
