The work on language now occupies a fundamental place in Senior High school alongside the study of literature. It allows to deepen the knowledge acquired in Junior High school, to put it towards the comprehension of texts and the improvement of the student’s expression.

The curriculum is centered on four study subjects: poetry, the literature of ideas and the press, the novel and the narrative, drama.

By extending the topics seen in Junior High school, this curriculum offers to explore reality, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. The 2nde program is structured around four topics that deal with the constitution and transformations of matter; movement and interactions; waves and signals; energy conversions and transfers. These topics make it possible to deal with many situations of everyday life.

This subject intends to promote experimental practice and modeling activity. The aim is to give students an interesting and authentic view on physics and chemistry.

THE YEAR OF THE BACCALAUREAT

The French Baccalaureat (Bac) is the diploma which marks the completion of the Lycée Français curriculum and follows the guidelines of the French Ministry of Education. The diploma is obtained at the end of Terminale and is the essential entry ticket for universities around the world.

The Baccalaureate exam takes place over a two-year period. The French Bac is widely recognized around the world. English-speaking universities value the French Bac because it is often considered difficult to obtain. It is recognized as a complete and rigorous curriculum guaranteeing in-depth knowledge.

LFJ is the only school in Indonesia to offer the French Baccalaureate (Bac). We are proud of our 100% success rate for the Bac. It is the embodiment of our students’ hard work as well as the dedication, passion and experience of our international teachers. More than 80% of LFJ students obtain their Bac with honors.

No wonder, then, that universities, not only in France, but also in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and around the world, view LFJ graduates with interest.

The class of Terminale is also the year of post-baccalaureate orientation choices.
