CE2, or "Cours Élémentaire 2," is a French educational term referring to the second year of elementary school, typically for children aged 7 to 8. It follows CP (Cours Préparatoire) and is part of the French national education system. In CE2, students build on their foundational skills in subjects like French, mathematics, and science. During CE2, children are encouraged to develop their reading and writing abilities, as well as their understanding of basic mathematical concepts. The curriculum also introduces more complex topics, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This year is crucial for preparing students for the next level, CM1 (Cours Moyen 1).
