    For French students, a high school alternative that offers graduation hope

    Jun 26, 2018 5 minutes

    It’s smiles and sighs of relief all around as Laetitia Lerner and Nicolas Genaille chat with friends and try to unwind after another grueling day of the baccalauréat – the French national high school exit exams. Even for Ms. Lerner and Mr. Genaille, who are only in their second to last year of high school, the testing has already begun. The results they get this year will contribute to their scores on the final exam after completing “terminale” – senior year.

    “I’m very happy with how I did,” says Genaille, an hour after completing the science exam. The French written exam took place last week, with the French oral test scheduled for the first week of July.

    “Now we’re going to have something to eat and relax,” says Lerner, a shy smile crossing her cheeks.
