The film and audiovisual studies specialization offers students training in the broadest forms of visual and sound creation, drawing on historical, stylistic, technical, and sociological approaches. This instruction also emphasizes the practical application of screenwriting, directing, filming, and editing, as well as the exploration of techniques, professions, and economic constraints associated with widely distributed media (films, series, online videos, video games, etc.). In the first year, particular attention is paid to the role of the author: how can a style and message develop within the multiple constraints of the production system? How can a director's vision emerge from a collective process driven by both an artistic and a technical team? Download the brochure.

The History, Geography, Geopolitics, and Political Science specialization offers keys to understanding the contemporary world through the study of various major political, social, and economic issues. Each theme provides an opportunity to observe the current world, as well as to delve deeper into historical and geographical contexts, allowing students to assess the influences and evolutions of a political question. This analysis, grounded in reflection on international relations, develops students' critical thinking skills, as well as their mastery of methods and in-depth knowledge across the various disciplines combined here.

The Humanities, Literature, and Philosophy specialization offers the study of literature and philosophy from all periods through the reading and exploration of numerous texts, aiming to refine students' thinking and broaden their cultural horizons. It focuses on several fundamental questions that have accompanied humanity from antiquity to the present day: how do we use words, speech, and writing? How do we represent the world—the one we live in and those in which other men and women have lived and continue to live? This course thus develops students' ability to analyze different perspectives, formulate well-reasoned personal opinions, and debate issues that address the major challenges facing humanity.

The specialized course in foreign languages, literatures, and cultures (first year of high school, general track) is designed for all students wishing to consolidate their mastery of a modern foreign language (German, English, Spanish, or Italian) and acquire a deep and diverse cultural understanding of the language being studied. Using a variety of resources (literary works, newspaper articles, films, visual materials, digital documents, etc.), students explore themes such as "travel" or "imaginaries," while practicing all language skills (listening, speaking, and speaking).

The Mathematics specialization allows students to reinforce and deepen their study of the following themes: Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Probability and Statistics, and Algorithms and Programming. This course incorporates the history of mathematics to explain the emergence and evolution of concepts and enables students to access abstraction and consolidate their mastery of algebraic calculation. The use of software, representation tools, simulations, and programming promotes experimentation and practical application. Connections with other specializations such as Physics and Chemistry, Life and Earth Sciences, Digital Technology and Computer Science, and Economics and Social Sciences are emphasized.

The music specialization (first year of high school, general track) develops the fundamental skills necessary for individual and group musical expression. Students acquire a broad and in-depth musical culture through listening to, analyzing, and interpreting a wide range of works. They undertake musical projects, thereby developing their understanding of musical practices and the functions of music, both past and present, in France and elsewhere. They also develop transferable skills related, among other things, to group work and presenting their work to an audience. Download the brochure.

The Digital Technology and Computer Science specialization offers students the opportunity to explore concepts related to, among other things, the history of computing, data representation and processing, human-computer interaction, algorithms, programming languages, and programming. Students acquire programming skills by applying them to numerous projects. The program's implementation provides many opportunities for student engagement in various forms that foster the development of transferable skills: autonomy, initiative, creativity, teamwork, argumentation, and more.

The physics and chemistry specialization course offers students the opportunity to explore concepts related to the themes of "Organization and Transformations of Matter," "Motion and Interactions," "Energy: Conversions and Transfers," and "Waves and Signals." The chosen areas of application ("Sound and its Perception," "Vision and Images," "Synthesis of Natural Molecules," etc.) provide students with a concrete, engaging, and modern understanding of physics and chemistry. This course places significant emphasis on experimentation and restores the importance of modeling and the mathematical formulation of physical laws. Download the brochure

The Economics and Social Sciences specialization reinforces and deepens students' mastery of the essential concepts, methods, and issues of economics, sociology, and political science. It sheds light on the major economic, social, and political challenges facing contemporary societies. By strengthening the microeconomic approaches necessary for understanding the fundamentals of economics and by offering a multidisciplinary approach that draws particularly on the social sciences, this course contributes to improving high school students' economic and sociological literacy.
