Collège is a French educational institution that serves students typically aged 11 to 15. It is part of the French education system and follows primary school, leading to the completion of the Brevet des Collèges, an important national examination. Collège offers a broad curriculum, including subjects like math, science, literature, and foreign languages. Students in collège are usually divided into four grades: sixième, cinquième, quatrième, and troisième. The focus is on providing a well-rounded education, preparing students for either lycée (high school) or vocational training. Collège plays a crucial role in shaping students' academic and social skills during their formative years.
